Kalemba had reportedly pleaded with Pornhub to remove the videos of her assault from the website the company only did so after several months, when Kalemba submitted a letter from a lawyer threatening to take legal action against them. Then in February 2020, a BBC story broke about a 14-year-old Rose Kalemba from Ohio who was raped and sexually abused at knifepoint for twelve hours and discovered later on that her assault had been videotaped and uploaded to Pornhub. While the company is adamant that it maintains “a steadfast commitment to eradicating and fighting non-consensual content and under-age material,” as it told The Guardian, the fact remains that such content continues to plague its platforms and that its removal, if occurring at all, is disturbingly slow. Pornhub alone boasts a stupefying annual average of 42 billion visits and 6 million video uploads. The petition, launched by the #Traffickinghub campaign, is accusing Pornhub’s parent company, Mindgeek, of failing to adequately regulate content uploaded to its websites and featuring non-consensual videos depicting rape and abuse of women, many of whom are trafficked underaged girls.īased in Luxemburg with offices in Canada, Cyprus, the UK and the US, Mindgeek reigns supreme in the porn streaming landscape, owning not only Pornhub but a slew of other streaming websites (such as YouPorn) and porn production companies.
But trailing behind its list of philanthropic endeavours is a swelling record of instances in which Pornhub has placed profit over human rights. Through its philanthropic arm- Pornhub Cares -and a handful of other initiatives, the porn giant has been involved in supporting artistic enterprises, providing scholarships, promoting sex education, and even partaking in the fight to preserve the oceans. Pornhub has gotten itself a fairly mixed reputation over the years.
