Women’s and children’s advocates have been celebrating the latest win in the fight against Pornhub after Visa and Mastercard suspended card payments for advertising on the porn giant’s platform on 4 August.

After almost taking her own life on finding out that a video of her was uploaded to Pornhub without her knowledge, a Chinese woman is fighting back with an app to help survivors of non-consensual pornography.
