ROKU Cuts Ties with Pornhub

In another big win for the collective movement to shut down Pornhub and hold its executives accountable for complicity in mass sexual crime, Roku has banned Pornhub and other unauthorized private pornography channels from its service. Pornhub has just lost the ability to reach 55 million users through Roku. 

The Roku victory comes on the heels of other major corporations cutting ties with Pornhub. So far, PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Heinz/Unilever, Grant Thornton, and Comcast/Xfinity have also stopped doing business with this predatory company because it has been confirmed again and again that the site has been enabling, monetizing, and globally distributing child pornography/CSAM, sex trafficking, rape, and other forms of criminal image-based abuse.

There has also been a recent legal victory for victims. Pornhub agreed to compensate 50 sex trafficking survivors who had sued the company in December 2020 for profiting from their abuse for years. The women were seeking $100 million in damages, and the settlement was for an undisclosed amount. Money cannot compensate for the trauma these women have suffered, but it is a significant step toward justice.
