Why do you consider it a hit piece? The main allegation that illegal content was on PornHub is based on facts, right?

Illegal content is on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit. The question is if and when it is removed. There are people accusing all of those sites of irresponsibility when it comes to moderating. But roughly, there seems to be no strong evidence that Pornhub did not remove illegal content they became aware of. More generally, the question is if a porn-site that allows anyone to upload stuff should be legally viable. You may feel that it should not. But make no mistake, Laila Mickelwait wants to shutdown the porn industry, not improve Pornhub.

    This is clearly false, they've claimed to be using a lot of technologies to preventively detect these issues. Visa has threatened to destroy not only Pornhub, but the whole parent company now. They'll just shut down Pornhub before destroying their company. Looking forward to the next russian-hosted site. It will surely be better, right?
