Surely, you may be thinking, no respectable bank would do business with any company that romanticises sexual violence. Think again. Visa and Mastercard did cancel business with Pornhub following a 2020 exposé of children who appeared on the site in violation of the 18+ requirement Pornhub has in place for performers. The two firms later stopped payments to MindGeek’s advertising arm, TrafficJunky, after a lawsuit accused Visa of “knowingly providing the means through which MindGeek monetises child porn”, through MindGeek’s recklessness in age verification checks. But these and other mainstream financial institutions continue to profit from Pornhub.
