BENGALURU, India — According to a Reuters report, Visa announced today that it “has allowed usage of its cards on MindGeek’s platforms that host professionally generated content,” although it continues the suspension of card use on the adult company’s tube site Pornhub “until pending investigations are complete.”

The short announcement was reported by a Reuters staffer in Bengaluru, the city formerly known as Bangalore in southern India.

The Indian reporter, Sohini Podder, noted the company told them that “following a thorough review, Visa will reinstate acceptance privileges for MindGeek sites that offer professionally produced adult studio content.”

XBIZ contacted a MindGeek representative for comment, but received no reply. Although Pornhub has released statements over the past six months, and has sometimes replied to a few mainstream reporters with confirmation or denials of news reports concerning them, MindGeek’s general policy has been not to issue replies to the press.

Users of MindGeek non-Pornhub properties have reported mixed results trying to use Visa, Mastercard and cryptocurrency since December 4, when the New York Times published a sensationalistic editorial by Nicholas Kristof alleging that popular tube site Pornhub is “infested with rape videos.”

Religiously motivated anti-porn organization Exodus Cry has claimed they were the impulse behind Kristof’s editorial, pursuing their avowed mission to “shut down Pornhub.”

Kristof directly and publicly called for intervention against Pornhub from prominent politicians and credit card companies.

On December 10,
Visa and Mastercard announced that they had frozen payments through their cards on Pornhub.
