Dozens of abuse victims continue to fight Pornhub parent company MindGeek after they alleged in 2021 that it monetized child pornography and rape uploaded to its websites.
The suit also alleges that the company proactively incorporated that content into its search engine optimization to maximize web traffic and therefore make more money, Bowe and Tabaksblat said.
The lawsuit – which was initially filed on behalf of 38 women but has since accrued between 50 and 60 additional plaintiffs – alleges that MindGeek knew child pornography, rape and other forms of non-consensual content were being uploaded to and circulated on its porn websites. "To fund her heroin addiction, Plaintiff—still a minor at this point—created sexually explicit videos at the older man’s behest, who in turn sold the videos on Craigslist. Some of the videos were uploaded to Pornhub and were still available on the website as recently as June 2020," the complaint states, describing the ordeal of removing content as a"whack-a-mole situation" for victims.
"No user can upload content to our platforms without uploading a government-issued ID that passes third-party verification. Any user has the ability to disable a piece of content on our platforms… and our policy is to immediately and automatically disable the material for further review," MindGeek said."These policies are just a small part of MindGeek's industry-leading safeguards.
"The fight against illegal material on the internet must be led by effective policies, data and facts, and MindGeek is committed to remaining at the forefront of this fight," MindGeek said.Ethical Capital Partners, a Canadian private equity firm, announced on March 16 – one day after the release of the Netflix documentary – that it had acquired MindGeek for an unspecified amount.
