Pornhub owner MindGeek has lost two high-level executives: CEO Feras Antoon and COO David Tassillo, as first reported by Variety<\/em><\/a>. Their resignation comes shortly after The New Yorker<\/em><\/a> released a scathing report detailing the holes in the company\u2019s content moderation system, which has failed to address videos depicting underage and non-consenting individuals.<\/p>\n

Despite the timeliness of The New Yorker<\/em>\u2019s report, a spokesperson for the company told Variety <\/em>that MindGeek had been planning a leadership change since earlier this year. The representative also said Antoon and Tassillo will remain shareholders in the company and that MindGeek is currently searching for their replacements. MindGeek didn\u2019t immediately respond to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Pornhub has long been criticized for hosting videos of underage children, victims of sexual assault, and non-consenting adults, despite having a policy meant to protect against this. The New Yorker<\/em>\u2019s report describes the experiences of young women who had videos posted on Pornhub while underage and the trouble that came along with trying to get them removed from the site.<\/p>\n

The Verge<\/em> highlighted a similar issue<\/a> earlier this year, in which a former moderator described his experience of taking down offending videos, only to have them resurface over and over again. Pornhub has also been the subject of a class-action lawsuit<\/a>, alleging that the site failed to do enough to take down videos of non-consenting subjects.<\/p>\n
