Mastercard and Visa have cut off PornHub from their payment services

"Mastercard and Visa have withdrawn their services from PornHub.

This follows an explosive New York Times column last week that accused the company of hosting illegal videos of child sexual abuse, rape, and women who have been secretly filmed.

PornHub said it was "exceptionally disappointing" that Mastercard and Visa have cut off their services.

It denied allowing child sexual abuse on its platform, and said it had made sweeping changes that meant only verified users can now upload content."
