‘The Children of Pornhub’: the hidden story behind the world’s biggest porn site
By Rebeca Crespo*
Pornhub is the number one pornography website in the world. Every day it receives 130 million visits, and its ads move billions a year.

As it became known later, since the verification ceased to be mandatory, hundreds of videos of sexual abuse, rape, or even of minors were uploaded to the network.
Pornhub looked the other way.
