An ex-Pornhub moderator said some videos that should've been taken down were missed and 'stayed up for months'
Netflix is releasing its Money Shot: The Pornhub Story documentary on Wednesday.Netflix
A former Pornhub video moderator said content that should've been removed "stayed up for months."
The ex-MindGeek worker made the claims in the new Netflix documentary Money Shot: The Pornhub Story.
It explores the dark side of porn through interviews with performers and industry workers.

A former MindGeek moderator said many Pornhub videos that should've been taken down remained on the platform for months.
The ex-MindGeek worker said Pornhub received "thousands" of requests to take down videos that could include sexual exploitation of minors or non-consensual acts, but that moderators weren't able to get through them all.
"Many videos that should have been taken down stayed up for months," he said in a new Netflix documentary, Money Shot: The Pornhub Story, which is being released Wednesday.
The man, whose identity was not disclosed, claimed he reviewed 700 videos a day, but moderators were expected to review even more than that number.
"I think the company could have done more to prevent certain things and chose not to, and only really changed some things after it got in trouble," he said.
"We were scrubbing through videos as fast as we could. Even if we thought that we were being diligent with our work, we would still miss a few videos every now and then."
The ex-moderator said he couldn't tell the age of someone from the video and that it was "really hard" to determine if they were a minor.
"Basically, we would just guess then my manager would decide if the video would be taken down for good, or if it would go live again," he said. "The rules constantly changed."

New Air Force One will stay blue and white, Biden decides
President Joe Biden is sticking with a blue-and-white color scheme for the exterior of the replacement Air Force One aircraft, the first of which is expected to be delivered in four years. The Air Force said late Friday that the light blue on the new model of the modified 747s that transport the president will be a little bit deeper and more modern in tone than the robin's egg blue on the versions of the aircraft currently in use. Boeing is modifying two of its 747-800 aircraft that will use the Air Force One call sign when the president is aboard.
