    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

    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
