A settlement has been reached in the lawsuit filed on behalf of 50 women who sued Pornhub’s parent company for hosting videos produced by porn company GirlsDoPorn.
The world’s largest porn company is being sued by abuse and trafficking survivors. Here’s what their cases are about and what the lawsuit means.
Out of 34 plaintiffs, 14 say they were victims of underage sex trafficking. The plaintiffs come from various US states, the UK, and Thailand.
The ethics committee released a report recommending that the Canadian federal government strengthen laws to curb the spread of child sexual exploitation material and rape videos online.
At least 50 women are suing MindGeek for allegedly knowingly profiting from images and videos of their sex trafficking nightmares and failing to properly moderate sites owned by MindGeek for the abusive videos.
With the increased availability of internet porn, women are becoming just as active on porn sites as men. This isn’t just a guy problem.
The world now knows how involved the world’s largest porn company has been in reporting child abuse content uploaded to its sites, and it’s seemingly disturbingly lacking.
Fight the New Drug has joined a collective of 104 survivors of sexual exploitation and 525 NGOs from 65 countries that have sent a letter to a Canadian Parliamentary Committee praising the committee’s actions thus far, and urging a “full criminal investigation” into MindGeek.
MindGeek, Pornhub’s parent company, not only reportedly ignored these four women’s pleas to have videos removed of their abuse and exploitation, but the massive porn company also allegedly profited from them.
Do these increased security measures mean that the content featured on Pornhub moving forward is safe and healthy to consume?
Pornhub reportedly profits from nonconsensual videos and real rape tapes—here are the latest examples they don’t want consumers to know about.
If Pornhub wanted to be an educational resource, they’d discontinue hosting porn and educate about the harmful effects of porn.
