Pornhub did not address in the blog post how these two groups are related to Nicholas Kristof's report in the New York Times. 'It is clear that Pornhub is being targeted not because of our policies and how we compare to our peers, but because we are an adult content platform.' It comes after Mastercard and Visa halted payments on Pornhub last week in the wake of the allegations.Ĭanadian-owned site Pornhub, the 10th most visited website in the world, had 42 billion site visits last year 'Any assertion that we allow CSAM is irresponsible and flagrantly untrue,' Pornhub said.

The site said in a statement that it has 'no tolerance' for content that shows sexual abuse of children and denied it knowingly allowed such images. Pornhub has gone a step further this week by removing all previously uploaded content that was not created by official content partners or users signed up to its Model Program initiative (who earn ad revenue from their videos).

Last week, however, Pornhub banned unverified users from posting new content, following allegations made in a New York Times column that it hosted child sexual abuse material. Since its launch in 2007, any Pornhub user signed up to the site had been able to upload their own content.

There were 13.5 million videos on Pornhub on Sunday evening, as noted by Motherboard, but the total stood at just 2.9 million as of Tuesday lunchtime. More than 10 million videos have been removed as part of the Canadian-owned pornography site's purge, according to figures on its homepage, following allegations it was 'infested' with videos of rape and underage sex. Pornhub has removed all content uploaded by unverified users from its platform – about 80 per cent of its total videos - in the wake of allegations that it hosts child abuse content.
