Netflix Sets Pornhub Documentary ‘Money Shot’ Premiere Date

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Netflix is gearing up to release a documentary film about Pornhub, the controversial sex video platform that features user-uploaded content. “Money Shot: The Pornhub Story” will debut on Netflix worldwide on March 15, 2023.

The documentary, from Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions, looks at the history of the internet’s most famous adult entertainment platform and the recent backlash against the site.

Pornhub changed how pornography is produced and distributed, enabling adult content creators to reach “a massive audience while the company made billions of dollars — but it also became embroiled in allegations including non-consensual material and trafficking on the site,” according to Netflix’s description of the film. “As anti-trafficking organizations 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?” Launched in 2007, Pornhub’s accounts on YouTube and Instagram have been shut down within the last six months for violating their policies.

That came after MindGeek, Pornhub’s parent, was sued by numerous plaintiffs who alleged that Pornhub has profited by distributing child pornography and nonconsensual sex videos.
