Pornhub to Require Criminal Background Checks for All Content Partners Beginning in 2026 😲
 

@Pornhub
has announced a major new policy aimed at strengthening community safety. Starting next year, all new creators on the platform will be required to undergo criminal background checks, with existing creators following suit in 2026.

The company says the move is part of its effort to create “a safer, more trustworthy environment” and will cover all content partners globally. The process will reportedly be free and securely handled, though details about what types of offenses may disqualify creators have not yet been shared.

This marks one of Pornhub’s most extensive safety initiatives to date, following years of reforms to improve moderation and verification standards in the adult industry.

It's unclear what they define as "criminal" or how far back the criminal record check will go, but I'll be sure to keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Update: I’m happy to say Pornhub has responded to our story with some clarifications on their new policy.

This is only being implemented for Content Partners (production companies/studios) who operate channels on Pornhub. This does not apply to individual Models or Pornstars. Additionally, we’d also like to note that we’re not interested in minor criminal charges. These background checks for Content Partners (production companies/studios) are more concerned with detecting trafficking, fraud, and other major red flags that would signal a potentially poor business partner.

So PH only wants to partner with limp wristed submissives.

Noted.

So they are saying dude who pays to get his own dick sucked needs no background check, but dude who pays to get someone else's dick sucked clearly needs invasive info?

Any idea what made them think this was a good idea? Was there a criminal incident?

:upsidedow:upsidedow:upsidedow

Looks like the rumors that PH was laundering money for weapons dealers are true - that they've got terrabytes of CSAM - and the wealthy elites have had their private videos uploaded.

Or maybe they're just fed up with India.

What job can you do with a criminal record ?

GFY shit poster mostly.

Ginger Lynn will be gone - Nacho will be gone - Siffredi will be gone - Stagliano will be gone

This bullshit is coming from a company who's had to change their name and ownership multiple times because of its long association with money laundering, fraud and other criminal activities

More than half the porn industry will be excluded by this move. Obviously, this is another power play and its purpose is to financially hurt the studios and producers as much as possible. The best guess, it's part of a role out to replace people with AI.

Donny Long seems to already be gone from Pornhub.

If you search his name on Pornhub... There's 0 results.

Videos he did with Heather Deep are still on Xvideos and Xhamster though.

My record is clean but I don't want to share personal data with those crooks for the few bucks they pay me monthly :1orglaugh

There is a huge underground economy in Canada.

The guy I worked for who ran a moving company had tons of convictions over 20+ years of being an insane criminal and people trust him with moving their houses all the time. He makes great money! $300 an hour sometimes and then pays guys $25 an hour out of that.

Moving for a living is a tough life, lots of those guys can barely move without a ton of drugs and liquor in their systems.

No sig.... #sad

It's hard to get a gun as a felon that's about it.

Yeah, he's still in jail. He won't even see a trial until 2026 at the very least but it could be even longer at the rate he's pissed off the judge.

But of course 👍
