History
XNXX was founded in 1997.[4] WGCZ
Holding's ownership was first revealed in 2014 when WGCZ brought a Uniform Domain-Name Dispute- Resolution Policy case against a similar domain in 2014.[2][5][6][7] In March 2016, The Next Web identified WGCZ Holding as a Polish company headed by Stephane Michael Pacaud and Deborah Malorie Pacaud.[8]
In 2018, the Government of India
blocked XNXX, among other porn websites, after a Uttarakhand High Court court order demanding the same in a rape case where the perpetrators stated they were motivated to do so after watching online pornography.[9]
In January 2023, The Financial Times
reported that WGCZ tube sites XVideos and XNXX receive 6 billion visits a month.[10]
