this number will probably go up. every video from an unverified user on the homepage I'm looking at now—probably a third of what the site's showing me—is returning that noticehttps://t.co/m81CbtCZ5m

UPDATE: number of videos on pornhub all over the place. started at 13 mil, went down to 5, up to 7, now at 4.8. I assume a lot of this is just funky indexing issues, need to wait for the dust to settle to understand impact: https://t.co/xzVoar1aDi

To be clear pornhub just deleted like 60% of all videos on one of the largest porn sites on the internet by flipping a switch https://t.co/GGA07YILg8

everything except for what was uploaded by content partners or members of the Model Program is suspended pending review and user verification—instead of those videos, you'll see thishttps://t.co/m81CbtCZ5m pic.twitter.com/NzUFSh8qqa

It makes sense banning unverified Porn for a lot of reasons

But I imagine it's only a matter of time until this hits every aspect of social media
Its the best way to censor speech without calling it censorshiphttps://t.co/l4Ih1A4ZsR

If governments can't/won't properly regulate the internet as victims' complaints gather dust without Mindgeek noticing or caring much, will @Visa and @Mastercard be the new de facto e-regulator? @NotYourPorn @samleecole https://t.co/wKHISHAuK8

【以下、記事まとめ】https://t.co/Qw855GTfnM
Pornhub just deleted *millions* of its videos.
— Haley McNamara (@HaleyMcNamara) December 14, 2020
Likely, millions of documented rapes and abuses.
There is still more work to be done.
They aren't off the hook for the harm they've caused and continue to cause.
But today is a good day. ?https://t.co/hL0cs4HIoq
The right-wing, anti-porn zealots whom Kristof platformed are celebrating, because their goal was not to protect abuse victims, but to kill all pornography.https://t.co/TWTVo4Ar5y

AMAZING that Pornhub has removed *millions of unverified videos overnight... when victims have been crying out for videos of their abuse to be taken down for years.
— Renee K. Chopping (@reneechopping) December 14, 2020
This is a huge win, but not the last one by a long shot. #traffickinghub #shutitdown https://t.co/IltKMn71vi
Pornhub went from 13+ million videos including rape and crime scene images of minors to now less than 5 million. They say they will only allow verified content now. Mastercard & Visa dropped Pornhub this week. The war isn’t won but this is a great victory. https://t.co/Wcvzm54SGN
