What happened to Pornhub recently?

Pornhub recently faced a significant legal challenge when Visa and Mastercard suspended payments to the adult website in December 2020. This suspension was a result of allegations that Pornhub was hosting illegal content, including videos depicting child abuse and non-consensual activities. The credit card companies' decision came after an opinion column in The New York Times brought these issues to widespread public attention, prompting a review of their business relationship with the website. In response to the allegations and payment suspension, Pornhub implemented substantial policy changes, removing all unverified content from its platform and restricting uploads to only verified users as part of their efforts to address the concerns raised about the illicit material on the site.
