Pornhub Executive Says Rapists And Child Traffickers Use "Loophole" To Upload Sex Violence And "Make A Lot Of Money"
Pornhub has been accused many times of allowing sexual violence and child rape content to be uploaded onto the site, and an undercover journalist gets an executive to admit that this is, in fact, true.
Ottawa-based private equity firm Ethical Capital Partners (ECP) recently acquired MindGeek, the company behind Pornhub and several other adult websites. While the financial details of the transaction were not disclosed, ECP chair Rocco Meliambro stated the firm aims to evolve the adult entertainment industry, which he believes is being shaped by changing public opinions and regulatory frameworks. ECP's acquisition comes at a time when Pornhub is facing intense scrutiny for hosting non-consensual content, including child sexual abuse material and revenge porn.
