Petition To Shutdown Pornhub As Teenager Reported Missing, Videos Of Her Abused Found On Site
A petition to shut down Pornhub gained momentum as a 15-year-old who was reported missing for a year was found in 58 videos documenting her rape and sexual abuse.
Her trafficker was identified using surveillance footage of him spotted with her at a 7-11. He was also seen raping her in a few videos uploaded on Pornhub.
This isn’t an isolated case, Pornhub is known to be complicit in uploading sexual abuse videos of minors who were threatened and forced into participating in sex acts.
In 2019, the IWF or Internet Watch Foundation confirmed 118 cases of child rape and sexual abuse on Pornhub, half of which were Category A level abuse involving penetration and sadism.
In February 2020, it was reported by BBC that the crime scene videos of a 14-year-old girl who was taken at knifepoint and raped for hours was uploaded to Pornhub. Her videos were only removed after months when the victim threatened legal action against Pornhub.
Netizens are in an uproar because of how Pornhub is still allowed to be up when there are evidences of their participation in said crimes.

While a lot have been debated over “ethical” pornographic materials being easily available, this shows the darker side of the multimillion-dollar industry.
Maybe it is time that people take the actors words seriously and take a good hard look at the seedy operations of porn.
Reporter’s Opinion: I have always had a certain uneasiness when it comes to the porn industry. Yeah, a lot have been written on it and there are documentaries where the actors said that they did it willingly.
But there is a fine line between willingness and clever manipulation of victims whose main motivation is money. There are people who are willing to do anything for money. Because what is money spent to “recruit” these actors compared to the money the industry makes from the demands of such videos.
It makes me sick to my stomach to know there are categories that implies minors are involved in such depraved acts. Clearly there is no consent from children as young as 3. I cannot imagine the trauma of the trafficking victims who are living in hell before they were rescued.
The problem lies with the demand for such videos and the ones who have more money than sense. Reflect upon yourself and ask yourself if you have a psychological problem that needs to be addressed if you enjoy consuming such content.
Fuck, children should not be exposed to such materials much less participate in acts that will scar them for life. And how many did not make it out alive?
