Netflix is about to release a long documentary on Pornhub, the famous porn video site. “Pornhub: Close-up on the sex giant” will tell the story of the adult platform, from its origins to the recent controversies it has sparked.
In the ranking of the most visited sites in the world, there are several porn sites like Xvideos, Xnxx and of course Pornhub. The X video distribution platform is a real web juggernaut where billions of Internet users pass. She will soon star in a Netflix documentary titled “Pornhub: close-up on the sex giant”. This 93-minute long program will be broadcast from March 15, 2023 on the N rouge service.
Directed by Suzanne Hillinger, it will be nourished by interviews with actors, activists and former employees in order to offer a real “immersion in the heart of the successes and scandals of Pornhub”, promises the synopsis. The site has revolutionized the way pornographic content is produced and shared. The documentary will thus discuss the journey of Pornhub to become the lucrative platform that we know today.

The Netflix documentary will return to the scandals of Pornhub
But his dark side will not be eluded. As a reminder, multiple scandals have marred the history of the site. Pornhub has notably been accused of hosting rape videos, revenge porn, child pornography and brutal scenes not consented to by the victims. A jagged moderation that notably caused the departure of Visa and Mastercard. In 2020, the two giants banned the use of their cards to make payments on the site following a damning investigation by the New York Times on Pornhub.
“This documentary forces us to understand what sexuality and consent mean when billion-dollar internet platforms thrive on user-generated content.” says director Suzanne Hillinge in a statement. She hopes the documentary “will spark important debates about sex and consent, both on the internet and around the world“.
