- Visa and Mastercard have suspended card payments for advertising on Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek.
- A federal judge in California on Friday denied Visa’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit by a woman who accuses the payment processor of knowingly facilitating the distribution of child pornography on Pornhub and other sites operated by parent company MindGeek.
- Visa CEO and Chairman Al Kelly said he strongly disagrees with the court’s decision and is confident in his position.
- However, the court decision created uncertainty about the role of TrafficJunky, MindGeek’s advertising arm, so the company will suspend its Visa acceptance privileges until further notice, Kelly said.
- Mastercard also cited new revelations from the case for its decision.
