A sex trafficking survivor had been sold for sexual abuse to approximately 200 men prior to her rescue.
Her trafficker was imprisoned and the young girl was freed from her captors. But something crucial was missing.
“What about the 200 unsolved rapes?”
We are suing Twitter for profiting off of child sexual abuse material.
We have evidence that Twitter consistently has over 10,000 child sexual abuse images on its platform at any given time, while pretending to guard against it.

BREAKING: Pornhub’s YouTube channel has been removed!
After NCOSE alerted that Pornhub's YouTube channel—with 900K subscribers—was in violation of Community Guidelines, it was taken down.
We are watching their empire crumble in real-time!
So why was there no accountability for the 200 men who raped this sex trafficked minor?
The truth is, without these men, no abuse would have occurred. And this is true of all sex trafficking and prostitution.

Legal representatives of alleged victims of Andrew Tate present a united front against the Tates for their attempts to harass, intimidate and silence those who are brave enough to speak out against them.
"I sent Pornhub begging emails. I pleaded with them. I wrote, 'Please, I'm a minor, this was assault, please take it down.'"
She received no reply and the videos remained live.

Although this girl’s trafficker was in jail, no thought had been given to prosecute the 200 men who had paid to sexually abuse her. This girl did not – and could not, being a minor – consent to sexual contact with these men.
Nonconsensual sex is rape.

Sex trafficking exists because of the demand for paid sex. Without the men who believe they have a right to purchase access to a person’s body, there would be no economic incentive for sex traffickers to fill that demand.

Sex buyers are the root cause of sex trafficking. They create the demand that motivates traffickers to bring people into the sex trade in the first place.
If no men were willing to pay for sexual access to people's bodies, traffickers would have no reason to do what they do.
Kids aren’t born sex offenders; they learn. Today’s unhealthy expose to graphic sexuality on the Internet is leading many kids to act out in inappropriate ways.

Encouraging teens to sext is encouraging minors to create and distribute child sex abuse material (CSAM). Also, online predators use social media to pose as peers and groom kids to “sext” w/them and then distribute the material and blackmail them with it.
We're failing as a society when the most vulnerable are forced to sell their bodies in order to survive.
OnlyFans is proven to be a predatory business model that preys on these vulnerable women.

Sex buyers are the sole revenue source for sex trafficking, and they are the primary perpetrators of sexual violence and exploitation in the sex trade.

An incredibly dangerous and irresponsible message that hasn't yet generated nearly enough pushback for how problematic (to put it mildly) it is at its very core.
Pornhub, one of the largest porn sites in the world, has been caught hosting videos of sex trafficking & child abuse victims, along with non-consensually shared images & extremely racist content.
Enough is enough. It's time to shut it down.

When you think of sex trafficking, sensational images might come to mind—kidnapping, guns, handcuffs, chains.
In reality, most victims of sex trafficking are groomed and held captive through psychological abuse, manipulation, and coercion.
“No mainstream company should partner with Pornhub, which profits from and has built its entire business model on sexually exploiting people.” -Lina Nealon
Reminder: Most sex traffickers aren't strangers to those they exploit. They develop relationships with them, either virtually or in-person, in order to methodically groom them. Child sex trafficking often involves a family member or someone else who personally knew the victim.
“Legalizing prostitution makes it’s safer,” people say.
“It’s a job just like any other,” people say.
But let’s look at what Jane and the other women experienced in these brothels. And we will see if it seems like a normal job.

We strongly believe that, as a part of the much-needed national conversation about and action against racism, it is crucial to address the racism inherent in systems of exploitation such as pornography, prostitution, and sex trafficking.
In the current era of

, it is an obligation to look at all factors that contribute to sexual exploitation. Pornography is constantly overlooked as a significant factor in many forms of exploitation, including sex trafficking, harassment, prostitution, and abuse.
