PORNHUB OWNER'S PORN WEBSITE IS SHUTTING DOWN

According to some reports, the decision to terminate the work of the resource may be associated with a number of lawsuits for the placement of illegal content on the website. These videos could include scenes of rape and violence against children, as well as the materials, published without the contest of their participants.

Over the past few years, the company has received a number of lawsuits, which are mainly related to the placement of illegal content.

Representatives of the company have not yet commented on the reasons for the closure of the website, at the moment, it is only known that the resource will stop working in early September.

The Xtube Company, which is associated with Pornhub, has existed since 2006 - it became the first resource where the users could upload the content on their own.

Pornhub had been previously accused of distributing illegal materials. Shortly after that, the ability to upload videos was limited for users and the downloads were banned as well. What is more, the resource promised to conduct a procedure for the improvement of the selection of materials for publication. At the same time, most of the videos were deleted.
