Pornhub knows no bounds in regard to victimizing human beings. Tragically, Pornhub hides behind legislative ambiguity to avoid accountability.
Dani Pinter, Senior Legal Counsel for the NCOSE, joins Anne on the free BTR podcast to explain how you can get involved today in holding Pornhub accountable and helping victims seek the justice that they deserve. Listen to the free BTR podcast and read the full transcript below for more.
Pornhub Victimizes Women & Children
"[Pornhub] is a platform that hosts real rape videos and real videos of children being sexually exploited and abused."
Dani Pinter, Senior Legal Counsel for the NCOSE
Pornhub claims to have safeguards in place to protect women and children from exploitation, and yet the website is full of abusive, violent, and exploitative videos.
Too often, men betray and exploit their wives, members of the BTR community, by uploading sexual videos to Pornhub. Even when women request these videos be taken down, if the video has been downloaded by Pornhub users, the video will continue to resurface. This re-traumatizes victims over and over again.
Pornhub Must Be Held Accountable
"One of the biggest and most poignant things that one of the survivors had said is that their abuse just never ended because of Pornhub. Each survivor's story was different, but they face some sort of exploitation, whether that was a violent rape or child sexual abuse, or trafficking, and even when that horrific trauma ended, it lived on into eternity because it was recorded and then uploaded to Pornhub. And for my client, that has meant that these videos and images have spread all over the internet, and she feels completely helpless to get rid of them."
Dani Pinter, Senior Legal Counsel for the NCOSE
The trauma that Pornhub victims experience is horrific and never-ending. Organizations like NCOSE recognize that because sexual exploitation is financially profitable, the organization itself isn't reliable to self-police.
That's why NCOSE is calling on all credit card companies to stop processing payments for Pornhub.
How Can We Seek Justice for Pornhub Victims?
It's not only large organizations and legislative decisions that can effect Pornhub's accountability.
You can help, too.
* Support the EARN IT act, which would hold "all platforms responsible" for child sex abuse material (CSAM)
* Go to sexualexploitationlawsuits.com if you have been a victim of sexual exploitation and begin the process of seeking justice for yourself
* Refuse to use pornography and share your knowledge of its exploitative nature with other
