A California judge is allowing a lawsuit against Visa to proceed, saying the company plausibly knew porn site operator MindGeek was monetizing sexual videos involving children. Judge Cormac Carney issued the ruling<\/a> late last week in Serena Fleites v. MindGeek et al.<\/em>, rejecting Visa\u2019s attempts to dismiss its portion of the suit. Carney says Visa plausibly \u201cintended to help MindGeek monetize child porn\u201d because it continued to offer payment processing services to the major tube site Pornhub despite knowing the site had failed to moderate videos of minors.<\/p>\n

The ongoing lawsuit asserts that MindGeek, Visa, and others violated a series of laws including the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) and the California Unfair Competition Law (UCL). The claims stem from a sexually explicit video that was filmed and put on Pornhub featuring the plaintiff, who was a young teenager at the time. Despite being notified that the video was illegal, Pornhub allegedly delayed taking it down for weeks, allowing it to be repeatedly downloaded and reuploaded and earning ad revenue alongside it. Visa later temporarily cut off Pornhub<\/a> following a New York Times<\/em> report suggesting the platform had allowed illegal videos despite knowing it was hosting child sexual abuse material.<\/p>\n
