Pornhub controversy and the collateral damage

It would be interesting to list what is happening to various company sites after The New York Times published that explosive article about Pornhub. So far I have noticed the following:

  • Pornhub blocked/deleted like 10 million videos.[1]
  • Redtube also blocked/deleted around 2 million videos.[2]
  • Many scenes from Brazzers disappeared from its homepage.[3]
  • In XVideos words like forced, daugther, rape and others were censored.[4] Although it is not owned by MindGeek, it is possible that it is a consequence of everything that is happening.
  • xHamster seems to have been removing content as well[5] (It also doesn't seem to belong to Mindgeek).

Possibly this is also affecting more sites but it is what I have seen so far. There I leave the idea for those who want to add more data, better references and improve the writing.

I imagine that this could be placed in the Pornhub article but I think it looks better here since the scandal splashes both MindGeek and Pornhub.--190.226.79.136 (talk) 01:04, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Primary Sources

If we are discussing a lawsuit, what is the best source of information about the lawsuit. How about providing a pointer to the actual lawsuit at the court? This would be better than pointing to an media article behind a paywall.

On Wikipedia, secondary sources are preferred to primary sources and whether a source is paywalled is not a relevant factor (except possibly being a reason against if all other factors are equal and there's a reason not to give multiple sources). — Bilorv (talk) 19:53, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
