As noted earlier, Mastercard and Visa halted payment processing on PornHub after a The New York Times article reported that the site hosts content involving minors.

To resume cooperation with the companies, the site removed content from unverified users — in a day the number of videos fell from 13.5 million to 4.7 million.
