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

\\n<\/p>\n

To resume cooperation with the companies, the site removed content from unverified users \u2014 in a day the number of videos fell from 13.5 million to 4.7 million.<\/p>\n
