Variety reported that PornHub's channel has been removed due to multiple community guidelines violations. The external link policy of the platform prohibits users from linking to content that is not allowed on the platform.
The PornHub Official channel was terminated after multiple violations of the community guidelines. Channels that repeatedly violate or are dedicated to violating content are terminated.
Safe-for-work content promoting the site and its performers can be found on PornHub's YouTube channel. The company denied claims that it posted or linked to adult content, as well as applying an age restriction to the videos posted to YouTube that required viewers to be at least 18 years old.
Pornhub maintains the absolute best trust and safety measures on the internet and takes special care to make sure it does not violate any of the community guidelines on YouTube. This is just the latest example of discrimination against those in the adult industry, a trend seen across social media and all other aspects of life.
Pornhub has been removed from YouTube due to rule violations regarding nudity and adult content. Pornhub encourages users to leave the site to view adult content, similar to what happened withInstagram. While other creators continue to post nudity and overt sexuality with no repercussions, PornHub responded to the ban with an open letter.
The pressure surrounding Pornhub and its Luxembourg-based parent company MindGeek continues to mount, with some accusing the site of failing to moderate content and allowing videos containing child abuse material. The resignation of PornHub CEO Feras Antoon and COO David Tassillo was due to these concerns. In 2020, Visa and Mastercard cut off transactions on PornHub over the presence of "unlawful content", although both companies are still facing a lawsuit that accuses them of intending to help MindGeek monetize child porn.
