Pornhub, one of the largest adult content sites in the world, has announced it will be banning unverified video uploads after allegations that it has been hosting child abuse videos.

An investigation by the New York Times last week claimed Pornhub was hosting non-consensual and child abuse content on its website. Activists have long called for changes to Pornhub’s business model, claiming it was not carrying out sufficient checks to ensure videos were consensual.

So sickening. Hope this isn't true!

Funny how they are willing to crack down on this after their finances were threatened.

They should have done this way earlier.

If they're hosting child pornography and videos of child abuse, then absolutely they need to change their business model and remove those videos. It's a disgusting thing to play host to!
