Pornhub’s removal of millions of videos may pose a significant threat to sex workers, already struggling during the pandemic, who use the platform’s sales as a source of income. The purge by Monday morning brought the total number of videos on the site down from 13m to just 4m, a report from Motherboard found. “At Pornhub, the safety of our community is our top priority.”
“This means every piece of Pornhub content is from verified uploaders, a requirement that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter have yet to institute,” the company said in a blog posted announcing the changes.
