Pornhub's parent company, Mindgeek, was told that Mastercard & Visa would suspend payment services after a NY Times' exposé child pornography and rape videos hosted on Pornhub. Consequently, Pornhub has purged over 10 Million videos from their site and removed uploading privileges from all unverified users. Darnell & Joel consider the following questions pertaining to this story:
- What is the difference between pornography and rape?
- Should antitrust laws be applied to Mindgeek and its potential to become a porn monopoly?
- Why Does Canada host a company that inflicts rape videos on the world?
- What are the unintended consequences of VISA & MasterCard's ban?
