Manage episode 447191747 series 3234407
In 2014, Laila Mickelwait’s victim advocacy work lead her to take a closer look at the porn industry’s ties to sex trafficking & in 2020, her advocacy work led her to Pornhub, which at that time, was the 5th most visited website in the world & an unchecked cesspool of egregious child porn.
Through her public awareness efforts & collaboration from some unlikely sources, Pornhub has since deleted 91% of its website content, & is facing criminal charges by the US federal government for intentionally profiting from sex trafficking.
In this episode, you’ll hear why VISA, MC, Discover & PayPal have withdrawn their business from the site, accounts of real victims, why she is working towards site removal vs improved regulation, how we know if this is bad content slipping through the cracks or complicit participation & what progress has been made.
