RedTube is a Web 2.0, video sharing, pornography site which in November 2009, held an Alexa ranking within the World's top 100 sites.[2] However by June 2010 it had fallen out of the top 100. Its popularity has been ascribed to its non-sexual name.[3][unreliable source?]
Wired reported that Redtube.com was one of the 5 fastest growing websites in December of 2007.[4]
The site's database was accessed and temporarily shut down by Turkish hackers in February 2008.[5][6]
In 2009, it was one of twelve pornographic sites blocked by the Sri Lankan court because access to the site, which housed images of Sri Lankan women and children, "corrupted society".[7]
