Pornhub offers premium membership to Russia to lift porn ban

Pornhub, a popular adult website has offered a premium membership to Russia in a bid to convince the country to lift the recent ban on pornographic websites in the country.

 

Recently, Russia shut down several popular adult websites in the country and instead asked citizens to interact with each other.

 

The Russian state watchdog Roskomnadzor - the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media - blocked assess to popular sites such as Pornhub and YouPorn.

 

According to the report published in The Independent, Pornhub and YouPorn were blocked by Russia on September 13. 

 

Since then several Russian Twitter users have flooded the official website of Roskomnadzor and have requested for an alternative.

 

Things, however, took a rather amusing turn after one Russian Twitter user named  Lyolya tweeted to the authorities asking them to provide an alternative to these porn sites. In reply that agency tweeted:, “Dear Lyolya, as an alternative you can meet someone in real life."

 

In the meantime, Pornhub in its effort to get itself unblocked made a rather bold offer to the agency. It tweeted from its official account requesting authorities to unblock it. 

 

The tweet read, “If we give you guys Pornhub Premium account, will you un-ban Pornhub in Russia?”. Despite the offer Pornhub still remains banned in the country, the Twitter users though want the agency to take  the offer.
