Most likely, we all went through the sensation of “butterflies in the stomach”, “singing of the soul”, and inexplicable emotions. This sensation is usually called falling in love, and sometimes you can hear people saying ‘Cupid’s arrow hit me!’.
Have you ever wondered who Cupid is and why this character is so closely related to Valentine’s Day?
Cupid is a small winged “troublemaker” with a quiver of arrows behind his back, striking right in the heart. His image is found on paintings of different eras, and the legend of the God of love comes from ancient mythology, and also, he is known as Amur or Eros (ancient Greek version).
One of the myths is relating to an emotional love story between an earth girl named Psyche and the god Cupid. Venus is said to have been Cupid’s mother and sent him to punish Psyche, just because she did not like her unearthly beauty. Later, Cupid fell in love with Psyche and became her husband. Legend says that humans could not look at the gods, so Psyche did not know what her lover looked like. It is believed that Cupid was a true “revelation” of love and tenderness, and the girl was truly happy. One day, her sisters advised her to “look” at her husband. Cupid was so angry, and he decided to take revenge for her disobeying, and once he left, all their magical gardens, a wonderful castle, and everything they had – disappeared. Psyche was left alone and because of feeling so desperate, she decided to seek help from Cupid’s mother, and she accepted the task Venus gave her.
Venus, as written above, did not love Psyche at all, and she planned to destroy her, by giving her tasks that were impossible to accomplish. However, nothing stopped Psyche, so she successfully overcame all difficulties, for the sake of her lover. Psyche’s last task was to deliver Pandora’s box containing the beauty of Pluto’s wife, the condition was not to open the box, despite difficulties!
Unfortunately, out of curiosity, Psyche looked into the box. Venus had foreseen this and hid a “dead dream” there, so this hit her.
Cupid, being so crazy in love, found Psyche lying on the ground, took away the spell and the effect of the dead sleep, and forgave her, making their love even stronger. The gods proclaimed Psyche a goddess, as they were delighted to see how powerful was her love for Cupid.
We hope that true love exists, so Valentine’s Day is a great time to celebrate love and feel Cupid’s presence, even if sometimes we open the “Pandora’s Box”…

Cloudflare: Google Cloud Outage Disrupts Spotify, Discord, and Chaturbate for Thousands
June 12, 2025 – Thousands of users across Spotify, Discord, Google Cloud, and several adult camming platforms experienced service disruptions Thursday, as Cloudflare confirmed a third-party issue caused by a Google Cloud outage.
The incident, monitored by Downdetector, peaked with outage reports from 46,000 Spotify users, 14,000 Google Cloud users, and 11,000 Discord users. Additionally, services such as Snapchat, Character.ai, and major adult streaming platforms, including Chaturbate, Stripchat, and CamSoda, also saw widespread downtime.
A Cloudflare representative clarified that their core services were not impacted, but that “a limited number of services at Cloudflare use Google Cloud and were affected.” One of the affected components was Cloudflare Workers KV, a backend data storage tool that temporarily went offline.
Google Cloud, which accounts for 12% of the global cloud services market, acknowledged the problem, stating: “We are currently investigating a service disruption.” Users were referred to the public Google Cloud status dashboard for ongoing updates.
By Thursday afternoon, recovery began across several platforms. Cloudflare confirmed progress on their status page, and Spotify redirected users to Google’s dashboard for context. Similar recovery signals were noted across impacted camming sites, which rely on Google Cloud and Cloudflare infrastructure to deliver low-latency, high-reliability streaming.
This outage highlights the broad dependence on cloud giants like Google, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure. Past incidents — including an AWS outage in 2021 and a Cloudflare disruption in 2020 — have shown how interconnected platforms, including those in the adult entertainment industry, are equally exposed to upstream failures.
The incident serves as a reminder that platform resilience and service redundancy remain crucial in today’s cloud-powered digital ecosystem.
Pornhub Exits France Over New Age Verification Law
Aylo, the operator behind major adult platforms including Pornhub, announced it is halting operations in France starting this Wednesday. The decision comes in response to a newly enforced French law requiring pornographic sites to implement enhanced age verification measures for their users.
An Aylo spokesperson described the legal requirements as posing a significant privacy risk, suggesting that age verification should be conducted at the device level rather than through invasive personal data collection.
Pornhub, the world’s most visited adult site, counts France as its second-largest market after the United States. The regulatory pressures facing Aylo and similar companies continue to grow globally, with the European Union now investigating whether platforms like Pornhub are sufficiently safeguarding minors.
Aylo has also withdrawn services from several U.S. states for similar reasons related to age verification mandates. In the UK, upcoming legislation will soon enforce stricter “age assurance” standards for all adult content providers.
The company, formerly known as Mindgeek and now owned by Canadian private equity firm Ethical Capital Partners, operates other well-known sites such as YouPorn and RedTube, which will likewise become inaccessible to French users.
Solomon Friedman, vice president of compliance at Aylo, criticized the French law as “dangerous,” “potentially privacy-infringing,” and “ineffective.” He argued that major tech companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft already have the capability to verify user age at the device or operating system level.
While Aylo supports the concept of age verification in principle, executives have expressed concerns over the collection of sensitive data, such as credit card information or government-issued IDs, as part of the verification process.
In response to the platform’s withdrawal, French Minister for Gender Equality Aurore Bergé commented “au revoir” on X, adding that the move would reduce minors’ exposure to “violent, degrading, and humiliating content” in France.
