Pornhub is a pornographic video sharing and pornography website.[7][8] It was launched in Montreal, in 2007.[9] Pornhub also has an office and servers in Limassol, Cyprus.[10]
In March 2010, the company was bought by MindGeek (known then as Manwin), which owns numerous other pornographic websites. The site is available internationally but has been blocked by some individual countries such as the Philippines, Pakistan and India. It offers virtual reality porn, amongst other products, and hosts the Pornhub Awards annually. As of June 2020, Pornhub is the 10th most trafficked website in the world and the 3rd most trafficked adult website after XVideos and XNXX.[11]
Incidents have been reported of Pornhub hosting non-consensual pornography.[12] The company has been criticised 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.[12][13][14][15]
