There is a fake campaign being advertised across social media that Pornhub is standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement by limiting their categories to solely the "ebony" videos for a week. The adult entertainment company has not made such a statement, however. In fact, the photo being shared has clearly been doctored and no such initiative actually exists.
People are still pretty ecstatic about the prospect of this actually happening though.
Taking to Instagram, both Trey Songz and Royce Da 5'9" commented on the fake campaign that Pornhub would only be showing "ebony" porn this week.
Trigga Trey raised a fist emoji while Nickel wrote: "Just-US."
Of course, people in the comments are falling for this, heading to check for themselves and landing directly into the trap. There are a number of folks telling Royce and Trey that this initiative isn't actually a real thing though.
One of the dead giveaways that this is not true is the fact that the "Hook Up" section is listed twice atop the supposed advertisement.
Pornhub has not issued a statement on the claims that they are linking up with Black Lives Matter on this campaign. However, they did speak out and encourage fans to donate to the NAACP and bail-out funds across the country.
Trippie Redd Reacts To Pornhub Premium Being Free
Trippie Redd is not happy that he still needs to make an account to enjoy the benefits of free Pornhub Premium.
As the quarantine will soon come to a close, Pornhub is going back to its regular method of operating. For the last month, the adult entertainment website has been offering a free premium subscription to everybody in the world, encouraging people to stay home and flatten the curve. Countries are beginning to re-open and, while we're not quite there yet in the United States and Canada, premium benefits will soon be stripped from our tight grip.
Trippie Redd found out late about the promotion that Pornhub was throwing, trying to take advantage of the offer this week when he realized he still needed to make an account to do so. Needless to say, he was a little frustrated.
"When they say premium is free but u gotta make an account still just to watch it," wrote Trippie Redd on Instagram, captioning a photo of himself looking annoyed as hell.
The Ohio native didn't clarify whether he ended up making the account or not.
Free Premium is set to expire on April 23 so, if you've been meaning to check it out but you haven't had a chance yet, you don't have much time left.
Are you signing up for that account even though you'll only get a few hours left on the promotion?
G-Eazy, Tory Lanez, & Tyga’s Pornhub-Hosted "Still Be Friends" Is Filled With Nudity
G-Eazy, Tory Lanez, and Tyga invade a Vixen party for a fun-filled bash in the “Still Be Friends” video.
G-Eazy, Tory Lanez, and Tyga‘s dreams have all come true. It was announced that the new music video for “Still Be Friends” would be hosted by Pornhub, giving us an idea of what was coming. However, nobody expected anything this raunchy.
The three playboys make their grand arrival to a Vixen party, which is filled to the brim with topless models showing off the goods. Right off the bat, you know things are going to get pretty insane when the stars walk in to find a room occupied with naked women prancing around.
To give you an idea of the extent of the nudity in this music video, Tory, Tyga, and Gerald are basically the only people wearing clothes. Models dance around (and on) them as the trio of rappers flex their stylish bars.
Does anybody else wish they were a fly on the wall at this party? Even if it was just for the video shoot, it still would have been lit to be part of this.
Adult models in the video include Mia Malkova, Ariana Marie, Avery Cristy, Amia Miley, Sarai Minx, Vicki Chase.
Watch the video here. Unfortunately, it’s wayyyyy too NSFW for us to include here. Let us know what you think in the comments.
Tory Lanez’s New Music Video Is Hosted By Pornhub
Tory Lanez, G-Eazy, and Tyga are the first people to release a music video hosted by Pornhub.
Tory Lanez is keeping us all entertained during the coronavirus lockdown, hosting his ultra-entertaining Quarantine Radio with guests like 21 Savage, Chris Brown, French Montana, and even Drake. The next episode is set to go live tomorrow and we can’t wait to see what kind of shenanigans the Toronto native has planned for us.
In addition to all the Instagram Live madness, Tory is also gearing up to release a brand new music video for “Still Be Friends” with G-Eazy and Tyga. According to him, it will be the first-ever music video hosted by adult entertainment website Pornhub.
Telling the world that he and his collaborators are about to make history, Tory Lanez revealed that the new video will premiere this week, featuring a ton of models from Vixen.

“WHEN U @g_eazy AND @tyga are the first people to do a video hosted by @PornHub and all the girls in the video came from @vixenxofficial,” wrote the Canadian artist as his caption, posting Polaroid photos of himself and some scantily-clad ladies.
Would you expect another trio of artists to work with Pornhub on the video release? I didn’t think so.

Pornhub Traffic Continues To Increase Exponentially Due To Coronavirus
Pornhub’s streaming numbers have gone way up in the last week, as people around the world are stuck inside self-quarantining due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Pornhub is certainly benefiting from the whole world occupying themselves while they’re stuck at home in self-isolation due to the spread of coronavirus. The company has seen an immense spike in traffic to their website in the last week, after previously reporting an overall increase in streaming since the coronavirus outbreak. The porn website has broken down the weekly traffic changes both worldwide and within individual countries with some handy graphs, revealing that folks are spending even more time viewing their content than they were the week prior.

There was a worldwide increase in traffic as high as 11.6% this past week, and in the U.S., there was a 5.1% spike in traffic March 13th, and a further 6.4 % spike on March 17th. Italy, the first European country to be put on full lockdown, has seen the largest increase of any individual country, going up a whopping 57% on March 12th. This spike is largely due to the fact that the website has offered a free premium subscription to all of the people of Italy to keep themselves entertained while they are kept in quarantine. In addition to the rise in viewership numbers, the website also noticed that folks were visiting the site at slightly different times than normal.
PornHub Sees Spike In Viewership Following Coronavirus Outbreak
The Coronavirus outbreak appears to have benefited PornHub.
The Coronavirus pandemic is having a deeper impact than just the healths of human beings across the planet. The stock markets dipped heavily, festivals are being canceled, television shows are stopping production temporarily, and many employers are encouraging their staff to work from home. However, there are some other businesses out there that are doing exceptionally well.
Via PornHub Insights
PornHub released a new report revealing that they’ve seen a spike in views on their site. “As the Coronavirus spread around the world, Pornhub’s traffic did grow, but perhaps more interesting, we found that people were choosing to visit Pornhub at different times. On March 11th, Pornhub’s worldwide traffic 5.7% higher than usual for a Wednesday,” a report on their site reads. Citing Italy as one of the country that shut down their borders and went into national quarantine, they revealed, “Italy’s traffic changed over the last few weeks, growing by 9% on March 9th, 11% on March 10th and 13.8% on March 11th.”
In fact, Italy’s inclination to use PornHub makes complete sense. Just yesterday, PornHub announced that they would be giving out free subscriptions to the people of Italy to combat Coronavirus. In addition, PornHub announced that a percentage of earnings would go towards helping the country fight Coronavirus.
Pornhub Giving Italy Free Premium Subscription For Coronavirus
Pornhub is offering a free premium subscription to help Italy combat the spread of coronavirus.
The entire country of Italy is currently on lockdown after it was hit hard with the coronavirus, which has just started to affect the entertainment and sports industries here in the United States. Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz are confirmed to have contracted the virus and Tom Hanks and his wife also have it. As things get more and more serious stateside, Europe is feeling the wrath of the novel illness the hardest. Millions of Italians are self-quarantined and, in order to make things a little more enjoyable for them, Pornhub is offering a special deal.
It has been revealed that all Italian users of Pornhub, the most popular adult entertainment website on the internet, will be given a free premium subscription for the month of March. The subscriptions have been handed out to prevent people from leaving the house.
In addition to a free premium membership, Pornhub will also be making a substantial donation to help fund research for the coronavirus.
"Pornhub has decided to donate its Modelhub March revenue to help Italy overcome the emergency," says a statement on the website when you open it in the country. "To keep you company at home during these weeks, you’ll be able to access Pornhub Premium for free for the whole month, with no need for a credit card."
If you're stuck in Italy, at least you've got some primo material to keep yourself busy. Have fun and wash your hands.
Pornhub Releases First-Ever Non Adult Film
Pornhub goes live with an hour-long documentary about the lesbian strip club scene in Los Angeles called "Shakedown."
Pornhub doesn't want to be known just as your go-to website when you're looking for some me-time. They also want to expand their content offering to include informative documentaries and other non-pornographic films, and that all begins with the official launch of Shakedown, an hour-long movie that debuted on the adult entertainment platform this week.
Leilah Weinraub, the director of Shakedown, has been working on this film for over fifteen years, beginning the process in 2002. Weinraub has collected an extensive amount of footage related to the lesbian strip club scene in Los Angeles during the early 2000s, which guides the premise of the documentary.

According to Variety, Shakedown looks at the men and women who visited lesbian strip clubs in the early aughts, offering a "humorous, sensual and informative" look at the subculture. It will be streaming for free on Pornhub for the entire month of March, earning its very own stylized page on the platform.
This is a big move for Pornhub, who hosted a reported 42 billion separate visits on the site last year. Expanding into the documentary realm will only help to further their goal of informing the general public about sexual health and sex work, beginning with Shakedown.
Pornhub Responds To Petition Seeking To Shut Website Down
Pornhub has released a statement in response to a petition that seeks to shut down them down due to their failure to properly monitor for illegal content.
Pornhub has responded to a petition that calls for the website to be shut them down, claiming that they are inadequate at monitoring their content and thus allow and profit off of criminal videos. The petition was launched on Change.org by a non-profit organization called Exodus Cry that seeks to "combine prayer and practical ministry to see sex trafficking and slavery ended around the world." Exodus Cry has sought out to completely shut down Pornhub due to its inadequacy in moderating the content they share on their platform, allowing for footage of children as well as victims of sex trafficking and rape to be uploaded. The organization cites a recent case in which footage of a 15-year-old who was trafficked and raped was reportedly verified with a blue checkmark and cleared to be uploaded on the site, as evidence that Pornhub's moderation tactics are extremely incompetent.
While the petition is asking for donations to "fight against big porn," Exodus Cry's director of abolition, Laila Mickelwait, has clarified in a statement that these banning efforts do not apply to all porn. “I am talking about shutting a multi-million dollar company down who is profiting off of the rape, sex trafficking and assault of women and children," she stated. "It is not an extreme point of view to think that the largest and most popular porn website in the world should not be allowed to cash in on the trauma, exploitation, and rape of women and children.”

Pornhub has released a statement regarding the petition, in which they explain the measures they are taking to properly assess the content they receive. "Pornhub has a steadfast commitment to eradicating and fighting any and all illegal content on the internet, including non-consensual content and child sexual abuse material," the website stated. "Any suggestion otherwise is categorically and factually inaccurate. While the wider tech community must continue to develop new methods to rid the internet of this horrific content, Pornhub is actively working to put in place state-of-the-art, comprehensive safeguards on its platform to combat this material."
"These actions include a robust system for flagging, reviewing and removing all illegal material, employing an extensive team of human moderators dedicated to manually reviewing all uploads to the site, and using a variety of digital fingerprinting solutions," the statement continues. "These include but are not limited to Microsoft’s PhotoDNA, a technology that aids in finding and removing known images of child exploitation, as well as Vobile, a state-of-the-art fingerprinting software that scans any new uploads for potential matches to unauthorized materials to protect against any banned video being re-uploaded to the platform. We are actively working on expanding our safety measures and adding new features and products to our platform to this end, as they become available. Furthermore, Pornhub will continue to work with law enforcement efforts and child protection non-profits in the goal of eliminating any and all illegal content across the internet."
