The Pornhub Scandal: A Dark Secret Exposed

Pornhub, once the largest adult website with over 130 million daily visits, has been exposed for hosting illegal content, including child exploitation, rape, and sex trafficking videos. In 2020, the #Traffickinghub movement, led by Laila Mickelwait, revealed the disturbing truth behind Pornhub’s operations. Millions of videos were uploaded without verification, allowing horrific abuse to be broadcast and monetized for years. Thanks to sustained pressure, 80% of Pornhub’s content—10.6 million unverified videos—was taken down, but the fight for justice continues.

Let’s stand together to hold platforms accountable for crimes against humanity! 💪

Some things are ‘Not for Sale’, taking away someone for slavery/prostitution means taking away their dreams. It’s high time to protect yourself against human trafficking online. 🛑♀️

Many people are unaware that one of the most dangerous times is during major sporting events. The Super Bowl has been labeled one of the largest Human Trafficking event worldwide. There are many reasons for this one of them being that there’s so many people who are focused on this event and not about their safety. It’s easier to transport people when there are so many people traveling. People are less likely to be reported missing until days later due to this event. The Super Bowl has always been a busy time and takes many peoples focus.

Throughout researching this topic, it shows that Black women and girls are way more likely to get caught in sex trafficking. However, it’s important to note that a lot of information being spread about sex trafficking and human trafficking surrounds white women and girls. 

Like many other human rights issues, it’s seen that Black women are pushed to the back burner. It’s so important for concepts like intersectionality to be included in movements like ending sex trafficking. It’s confusing to see that Black women are the main victims of this issue, yet not many people address it. 

This is Casandra Diamond. She was introduced to sex trafficking at a very young age and it took nearly nine years for her to get out of it. Her story was very eye opening due to the fact that when she began in cycle of sex trafficking, she believed that everything she was doing was because she wanted to. Casandra fought so hard to have autonomy over her body and ended up losing all sense of it. 

While she isn’t a Black woman, her story can resonate with so many women. It’s very common for people in her same position - low income housing, lack of parental support, etc. - to get wrapped up in the ongoing cycle of sex trafficking.
