Pornhub reviewed videos flagged for potentially criminal content like child sexual abuse only for those that received over 15 complaints, and the website had over 700,000 videos with between 1 and 15 flags in 2021, a series of emails reveals. The documents were disclosed as part of a class action lawsuit against the company’s Montreal-based parent company filed by 40 women in California in 2021.
“Team reviews between 50 and 500 videos per day that are flagged in order to address any video with more than 15 flags,” said part of an e-mail from May 27, 2020, exchanged between executives at Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek, which was recently renamed Aylo.
