The pornhub site, which is considered one of the most popular sites for adult movies in the world, was forced yesterday (Monday) to download more than 10 million sex movies from a database of about 13.5 million videos.
A statement from the site said that "after receiving complaints about child pornography videos or videos showing people who did not approve their photo, we decided to download any content that does not come from an approved source or a known person who approves uploading the content."
The site's decision came a few days after a number of very large credit card companies, including Visa and MasterCard, blocked the possibility of payments to the site after it became clear that it had illegal pornographic content.
Awareness of the issue arose following a major article published in the New York Times by the renowned journalist Nicholas Christoph, who very sharply attacked what was happening on the site and called for a comprehensive investigation of its contents.
However, senior site officials claim that their site is under attack due to extreme conservatism and not because of illegal content.
"Obviously pornhub is under attack, it's because it sells and not because of the problematic videos it has. Just like they attacked Playboy for 50 decades, so are we now being attacked. These are the same elements who oppose sex education, gay rights organizations and other liberal elements," the site said. Back, at the same time as downloading the content.

The site's response also mentioned the TraffickingHub campaign, which was launched in the summer by right - wing Christian elements who launched a huge campaign against morally inappropriate content on the web.
The campaign is led by a well-known Christian right-wing activist in the United States named Lila McValt.
As mentioned, the harsh criticism has helped, and there are now 2.9 million approved films on the site.
According to sources on the site, Pornhab is now the most protected on the net against fakes, even compared to Facebook or Snapchat.
From now on, only happy and identified users will be able to upload (or return) their videos to the air, which ostensibly makes Pornhab the most stringent content site of all the sites on the net.
