PayPal Pulls Out: Paypal Says It Will No Longer Support Pornhub Models

There are a lot of angry “Pornhubbers” out there, and PayPal may be the reason why.

According to Fox Business, Thursday PayPal announced its decision to stop payment support to Pornhub models via their payment processor.

“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 email statement.

PayPal’s reasoning still leaves plenty of questions, but their decision comes after several other financial institutions, including Chase, Bank of America, and Capital One, all made the same decision based on the passing of the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act In 2018.

Pornhub states they are devastated by PayPal’s decision to stop payments to more than a hundred thousand performers who rely on them for their livelihoods. In a statement to The Verge, the company said it will “continue to add more sex worker-friendly” ways to get paid and that it’s exploring more crypto options as well.
