Pornhub has removed all content uploaded by unverified users from its platform about 80 per cent of its total videos - in the wake of allegations that it hosts child abuse content.  


More than 10 million videos have been removed as part of the Canadian-owned pornography site's purge, according to figures on its homepage, following allegations it was 'infested' with videos of rape and underage sex. 


There were 13.5 million videos on Pornhub on Sunday evening, as noted by Motherboard, but the total stood at just 2.9 million as of Tuesday lunchtime.


Since its launch in 2007, any Pornhub user signed up to the site had been able to upload their own content. 


Last week, however, Pornhub banned unverified users from posting new content, following allegations made in a New York Times column that it hosted child sexual abuse material.


Pornhub has gone a step further this week by removing all previously uploaded content that was not created by official content partners or users signed up to its Model Program initiative (who earn ad revenue from their videos).  


The site said in a statement that it has 'no tolerance' for content that shows sexual abuse of children and denied it knowingly allowed such images. 


'Any assertion that we allow CSAM [child sexual abuse material] is irresponsible and flagrantly untrue,' Pornhub said. 


It comes after Mastercard and Visa halted payments on Pornhub last week in the wake of the allegations. 



Pornhub is the 10th most visited website in the world, according to figures from web analytics company SimilarWeb. 


The site is owned by parent company MindGeek, a privately held pornography conglomerate based in Montreal, Canada. MindGeek also owns other popular adult video portals, including YouPorn and RedTube.


Pornhub was created by four Canadian college friends dubbed 'the kings of smut' who made millions by creating the YouTube of porn. 


'As part of our policy to ban unverified uploaders, we have now also suspended all previously uploaded content that was not created by content partners or members of the Model Program,' Pornhub said in a blog post dated Monday.


'This means every piece of Pornhub content is from verified uploaders, a requirement that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter have yet to institute.'
