As per Netflixโs own official description:
Pornhub, the internetโs 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 dollarsโฆ
โฆ but it also became embroiled in allegations including non-consensual material and trafficking on the site. As anti-trafficking organisations 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?
โThis documentary requires us to grapple with what sexuality and consent means when billion-dollar internet platforms thrive on user-generated content,โ explained Suzanne Hillinger, director and producer of Money Shot: The Pornhub Story.
