In a historic ruling, a federal district court in California has granted a motion to certify a class in a case against Pornhub and its parent company Aylo (formerly "MindGeek"). This decision means the Court found enough evidence of numerous victims who have been harmed in a common way—in other words, evidence of systemic abuse. Following on the heels of this groundbreaking ruling, a new undercover investigation by Sound Investigations has exposed more of the company’s shockingly lax policies around underage or nonconsensually created/uploaded content. Employees at Aylo’s advertising arm, TrafficJunky, confirmed that: - Advertisers who uploaded child sexual abuse material would not get their account suspended and would not be reported to the authorities, and
- Advertisers would not be asked if they had obtained consent of the individuals in pornographic videos.
