Trafficking Hub

PORN ROW: 2 Million Sign Petition to SHUT DOWN Pornhub Over Sex Trafficking Vids

PORN HUB has been hit with futher calls to deal with trafficking and abuse videos on its network after a whopping TWO million signed a petition to shut down the porn website.

The viral #TraffickingHub Movement, that’s now TWO MILLION strong, wants PornHub shut down for allegedly enabling and profiting from rape and sex trafficking.

The petition has signers from 192 countries and anti-trafficking expert Laila Mickelwait’s “Traffickinghub” petition is making shockwaves across the globe. 

Mickelwait claims that the website enables sex trafficking and the rape of women and children and profits from the videos.

The campaign, based on numerous cases of real videos of child sexual abuse, adult trafficking, assault, and rape—all monetized on Pornhub—also released a viral video which has gained 33 million views globally. 

The movement has been featured in hundreds of media articles, drawn support from celebrities, and inspired protests in front of Pornhub’s offices in Montreal, Canada and Los Angeles, California.

Inspired by the petition, U.S. Senator Ben Sasse released a letter to attorney general William Barr, demanding that the U.S. Department of Justice open an investigation into Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek. 

A multi-party group of Canadian members of parliament also sent a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asking the Government of Canada to investigate Pornhub and MindGeek. Recently, Mickelwait met with lawmakers in Washington, D.C. to present a thorough, evidence-base case against the site, which draws 42 billion visits per year.

The non-religious, non-partisan movement to shut down the world’s largest porn site for allegedly profiting from the rape and trafficking of women and children has been endorsed by over 300 anti-trafficking, child protection, and women’s rights organizations, and has even drawn support from professionals in the adult entertainment industry, who released a manifesto rejecting Pornhub and its illegal, exploitative practices.

The grassroots movement was sparked by the February 9 release of an op-ed, written by campaign founder Laila Mickelwait, exposing the crimes on Pornhub and calling for justice. The following day, the BBC published the harrowing story of Rose Kalemba who, at 14 years old, was taken at knifepoint and raped for 12 hours, after which the videos of her torture were uploaded to Pornhub by her attackers

Another recent example was the case of a 15-year-old girl from Florida, who was missing for a year and was located after 58 videos of her sexual abuse and rape were found monetized on Pornhub.

Laila told Politicalite: “All it takes to upload content to Pornhub is an email address—no government-issued ID is required.”

“Pornhub doesn’t bother to reliably verify the age or the consent of the millions featured in the videos it hosts and profits from.”

“The site is set up for exploitation and is infested with videos of the real rape, trafficking, abuse, and exploitation of women and children. We have significant evidence and it is just the tip of the iceberg.”

“Pornhub is arguably the largest public collection of sexual exploitation evidence in existence,” said Mickelwait.

“Shut it down and lock them up.”
