About Pornhub in brief
Pornhub is a Canadian-owned internet pornography website. It was launched in Montreal, Canada, in 2007. In March 2010, the company was bought by MindGeek, which owns numerous other pornographic websites. The site is available internationally but has been blocked by some individual countries such as the Philippines, Pakistan, mainland China and India. As of June 2020, Pornhub is the 10th most trafficked website in the world and the third most-trafficked adult website after XVideos and XNXX. Incidents have been reported of Pornhub hosting non-consensual pornography. The company has been criticized for slow or inadequate responses to some of these incidents, including the hosting of the high-profile channel Girls Do Porn, which was closed in 2019 following a lawsuit and charges of sex trafficking. In October 2017, vice president Corey Price announced that Pornhub would use computer vision and artificial intelligence software to identify and tag videos on the website with information about the performers and sex acts. In December 2020, following a New York Times article on such content, payment processors Mastercard and Visa cut their services to Pornhub. Pornhub then removed all videos by unverified users. On 17 April 2018, the site began accepting Verge cryptocurrency as a payment option as part of a deal with the company. In June 2015, PornHub announced that it was going to make a pornographic film featuring real-life sex in space, named Sexplorations. If funded, the film would have been slated for a 2016 release, following six months of training for the two performers and six-person crew.
In February 2016, Porn hub launched an online casino, powered by Betsoft, Endorphina and 1×2 gaming software. In 2013, senior management sold his stake in the company to senior management – Feras Antoon and David Tassillo. In 2009, a 14-year-old girl who was raped at knifepoint was reported to be reported to the company via an online form on Pornhub via an IndieGogo crowdfunders page. The website allows visitors to view pornographic videos from a number of categories, including professional and amateur pornography. Users may also register a free Pornhub account, which additionally allows them to post comments, download videos and add videos to their favourites, as well as upload videos themselves. Videos can be flagged if they contain content which violates the website’s terms of service. In an effort to introduce quality curation to the site, the website launched a service called Pornhub Select in October 2013. It uses an algorithm to create personalized video playlists for the viewer based on their porn preferences, including their time of day, what part of the world they live in and the amount of time the viewer has to watch the video. On 1 February 2014, pornhub launched a new service called \”PornIQ\”, which uses a data-intensive approach to playlists, and marked a new trend in the switch from content searching to passive curation among Web 2.0 websites.
