A stipulated order for permanent injunction was filed last week, demanding Aylo (formerly MindGeek) remove child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and proven nonconsensual content from its sites, implement comprehensive prevention policies to be periodically reviewed by a third party, and bolster privacy and security measures.
The order also includes an additional $10 million payment to the Utah Division of Consumer Protection. That amount, though, will be suspended if the defendants comply with the mandates of the FTC’s order.

“Pornhub’s operators turned a blind eye to the proliferation of videos depicting the sexual abuse of children on its sites so it could profit off this exploitation,” Christopher Mufarrige, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement. “Under the order we’re announcing today, Pornhub’s operators will be required to take concrete steps to block this harmful content and ensure that those who appear in videos on their sites are consenting adults.”
Several groups have praised the FTC’s order, including the anti-trafficking organization Exodus Cry and the National Center on Sexual Exploitation.
