PayPal, which has banned some prominent conservative figures from its platform, has found a new group of undesirables to financially blacklist — porn stars.
Pornhub announced Thursday that PayPal has stopped all payouts to models on the popular hardcore porn site.
“We are all devastated by PayPal’s decision to stop payouts to over a hundred thousand performers who rely on them for their livelihoods,” the porn site said in a release.
The decision represents the latest move by big tech firms to censor or silence groups they disapprove of by blacklisting them. Silicon Valley giants including Facebook and Twitter face accusations that they unfairly target conservatives and other groups by censoring their content and throwing them off the platform.
Pornhub performers lashed out at PayPal on Thursday, calling the decision discriminatory.
“It was only a matter of time,” wrote one adult model on a Pornhub message board. “Since 2012 I have been watching PP [PayPal] get worse and worse, discriminate against so many Models and Companies!”
Another model wrote: “PayPal strikes again SMH but, not surprised. Real tired of all these companies taking away SWs [sex workers’] livelihoods.”

Sabo, Loomer and and these porn peeps sitting on the same side. Sounds like a South park episode.
That’s one way to make a hormone.
Dang it!
Just when Methany and Girlene was getting their lifes together and paying for they own groceries and all.
“We are all devastated by PayPal’s decision to stop payouts to over a hundred thousand performers who rely on them for their livelihoods,”
Those ‘performers’ will need to develop additional skill sets.
I suggest they learn to code.
Morse as its gone by the way side too(except for Ham radio buffs)
Nothing Prevents a State from BANNING PayPal and any other Tech Company from doing Business in their State. When State’s step up to the plate to do the right thing about censorship, it will be over quickly.
In a way they have been doing that for years, just a different code than you have in mind!
The Interstate Commerce Code? Not sure a state can ban a company that is country-wide. Otherwise you might see wingnut states like California try to ban a Chick Fil-A.
Ironic that the porn industry is being targeted. Pornographers usually are on the side of the Democrats.
Richly deserved they get whacked...
“Performers”
“Sex Workers”
“Discrimination”
“Livelihood”
LOL
As I said... strange bedfellows. Very strange bedfellows indeed.
I can just see the porn stars performing in MAGA hats already. LOL.
Metheny and Girlene?
Hat tip to HG. That was actually funny.
That was kinda clever.
LOL.
100,000? That’s a lotta skank!
Oh Nooooo, whatever will the democrat lawmakers watch between capitol sessions now ?
This is interesting.
Porn built the Internet. That is where big, early money was.
This may be a chance to build a money network uncontrolled by the left.
Strange, but possible.
Perfect chance for Stellar Lumens or some other crypto-currency to step in ...
Some other on line payment system will be getting a lot of new business.
That blows!
