SAN BRUNO, CALIFORNIA: YouTube banned Pornhub over multiple violations of its community guidelines, days after the company's presence was prohibited from TikTok alleging the display of child pornographic content. The Pornhub channel was terminated from the online video-sharing platform following the prohibited linking of sites that contain content unallowed to host according to its community guidelines.

MindGeek, Pornhub's parent company, has 'vehemently denied' the Google-owned company's claim of multiple violations of the guidelines that it has linked to porn sites, reports the Daily Mail. The adult content firm has been facing a couple of bans in the past few years where Mastercard and Visa discontinued payment services from Pornhub citing 'unlawful content on its sites', and they have also faced a permanent removal from Meta's Instagram recently based on repeated violation of its policies specified about nudity, adult content and sexual solicitation

"Upon review, we terminated the channel PornhubOfficial following multiple violations of our Community Guidelines.
