In a huge development in the fight against Pornhub, Mindgeek has now been banned from having Visa and Mastercard payments processed on their servers. The move in part comes as survivors across the spectrum are coming out with their stories of abuse on behalf of the platform.
On Thursday evening, both Visa and Mastercard confirmed that they’ve indefinitely suspended Pornhub from ever processing payments again.
Mastercard and Visa said they had banned the use of their credit cards on the adult website Pornhub after the New York Times Opinion columnist @NickKristof reported that the platform included videos of child abuse and rape. https://t.co/4mBjrRHfEE

Pornhub did not respond to requests for comment as they’re maintaining the same statement previously provided to us that the claims against them are (“exaggerated”) and part of an agenda.
