The decision comes in response to a report in The New York Times alleging that videos of rape and underage sex can be found on the pornographic site.
Nicholas Kristof, opinion columnist at the Times, wrote Friday that Pornhub carries rape scenes and other examples of explicit video taken without consent of the participants.
