OTTAWA — A parliamentary committee is hearing from women who say they were traumatized when Pornhub refused to act on exploitive videos posted to its website.
Three witnesses before the House of Commons ethics committee this afternoon accuse the Montreal-based porn giant of ignoring repeated requests to take down content that showcased assault or underage sex.
The accusations directly contradict recent testimony by executives from Pornhub’s parent company MindGeek, who claim it responds swiftly to illegal posts and works actively to remove child pornography.
Survivor Victoria Galy says Pornhub only took down dozens of videos and images of her — posted without her consent, depicting non-consensual sex and leading her to become suicidal — following a New York Times investigation and her own civil lawsuit in December, more than two years after she began to alert the platform.
