MONTREAL — MindGeek-owned tube site XTube has announced it will be close down September 5 and is no longer allowing uploads or downloads.
The news was first announced by religiously motivated anti-porn crusader Laila Mickelwait through her Twitter account. It was confirmed by information updated on the site’s FAQs and first reported this morning by the TNW news site.
A FAQ page simply titled “XTube Closure” was quietly uploaded to the site over the weekend and included the following announcements:

- Downloads have been disabled; henceforth, users will not be able to download any of the user-generated content

- VIP members and XTube Premium members will be billed through August 5; the subscriptions will be cancelled thereafter and will no longer be billed. However, VIP members and XTube Premium members will be able to access their respective benefits until September 5.
