PayPal has kicked Pornhub to the curb (which is bad news for Pornhub’s models)…
November 16, 2019PayPal has turned off payments to Pornhub’s models — a move that’s left honchos at the adult video website hot and bothered.
“Following a review, we have discovered that PornHub has made certain business payments through PayPal without seeking our permission. We have taken action to stop these transactions from occurring,” PayPal said in an emailed statement.
A PayPal spokesman declined to elaborate on the problematic payments.
Pornhub says it is “devastated” by the decision that will dry up payments for more than 100,000 performers, “who rely on them for their livelihoods.” The site will have staff “working around the clock” to make sure models get their money once they pick a new payment method, it said in a Thursday blog post.
“Decisions like that of PayPal and other major companies do nothing but harm efforts to end discrimination and stigma towards sex workers,” Pornhub vice president Corey Price said in a statement.
