MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The company says the rebrand represents “the need for a fresh start,” as reported earlier by the New York Post.
“The decision to rebrand the company as Aylo, comes in response to the need for a fresh start and a renewed commitment to innovation, diverse and inclusive adult content, and trust and safety,” the post reads.
“The new brand identity will be implemented across all company communications, marketing materials and digital platforms.”
Even with a total rebrand, it might be difficult to forget some of the major controversies MindGeek has faced.
The company faced severe moderation issues for years, including the presence of child sexual abuse videos.
Visa and Mastercard stopped offering payment services on Pornhub in 2020 due to the presence of “unlawful content” on the platform.
