Adult entertainment website Pornhub recently launched a charitable campaign to help Italy combat the COVID-19 virus. The platform is giving away its premium subscription membership to help quarantined individuals stay home in isolation while being entertained.
"Pornhub has decided to donate its Modelhub March revenue to help Italy overcome the emergency," states the homepage. "To keep you company at home during these weeks, you’ll be able to access Pornhub Premium for free for the whole month, with no need for a credit card."
The adult entertainment platform is hoping this prompts individuals to stay indoors to help curve the spread of the virus. Currently, citizens who break quarantine without just cause will face legal actions including three months of detention or a €2,500 ($2,800 USD) penalty.
