Pornhub, the internet's most famous adult entertainment platform, fundamentally changed how pornography is made and distributed. This enabled erotic content creators to reach a massive audience while the company made billions of dollars -- but it also became embroiled in allegations including non-consensual material and trafficking on the site. As anti-trafficking organizations seek justice for victims, can the online giant protect those from whom they profit, or is this a new wave of censorship for adult performers making consensual porn?

Cem Y 05/29/2023 It had a good promise, but the structure was not great. The message was not clear which is a usual thing in such documentaries where the incidents are told by the people in the documentary. See more Dan R 04/22/2023 'Money Shot: The Pornhub Story' is the Netflix documentary not to watch with your parents! SYNOPSIS: 'Follow the rise of the most famous adult entertainment platform and the recent backlash it has received.' Is this the most controversial documentary on Netflix? Well I guess it depends what your sensitivities are, but being such a controversial topic, the biggest positive of this documentary is to offer as many points of view as possible on difficult subjects. This doesn't demonise porn or the porn industry but it does show that when the pure focus is capitalism things can go horribly wrong. The issues raised within this documentary are deeply concerning and it appears no executives have been taken to task yet. Fascinating. 7/10 See more Robin H 04/03/2023 This was like watching wall paper peel. The topics presented could have been covered in 5 minutes. I expected more. Maybe I fell asleep, but I don't remember any mention of amateur content where people make their own videos and upload them primarily for fun and excitement rather than to be professional porn stars. See more Calli E 03/24/2023 Very insightful documentary that shows the awful side of the big company, while never losing sight of the sex workers that the bad legislation and anti-porn campaigns trying to address it actually harm. In any case: sex work is real work, repeal sesta-fosta! See more Kenita K 03/20/2023 Very good documenrary. Let's be honest, pornography is immoral and one thing is freedom and another is debauchery. It's good that this content has been restricted in internet The "supposed victims", sex workers, have more options. There are many women who have no qualifications and work in factories, in the food industry, many clean floors, but of course, earning money exploiting their bodies and losing their dignity is easier. There is no justification to be a sex worker. That site promoted other crimes. Thanks to the people with common sense who fight against this social evil because that is how it is classified: social evil and this is my opinion although I was never a saint but everything has limits.
