MONTREAL, CANADA - Wanting to go public in order to bring the website’s foul practices to light, a group of pornstars have unionized to form the union “Sex Workers Against the Foul Practices of the Sex Industry” (SWAFPSI) in order to sue Canadian based company Aylo, the owner of PornHub and several other popular pornographic websites after it came to light that the company encourages the users of their websites to masturbate to pornstars videos.

“Me and my fellow sisters use sex work as a way to express ourselves, not to satisfy the cravings of perverts.” Holly HardKore, a popular adult actress and member of SWAFPSI, told reporters. “We are artists who use our bodies as the canvas, and this powerful, corrupt, corporation is trying to take advantage of our art by advertising it to people who see our bodies as nothing more than objects. That isn’t right, and we are determined to make an example out of PornHub to end this humiliating process once and for all.”

fun fact! pornhub is owned by mindgeek!

Mindgeek:

Has a monopoly on the porn industry

Actively evades taxes in all of the countries that it’s offices reside in despite raking in a ridiculous amount of money

has been known to use its wealth and power to oppose health related regulations for pornography studios

does NOT regulate stolen content and use their prowess to subdue complaints by actual content creators/performers

blacklists performers who dissent to their predatory practices, including workers/performers who disagree with them in personal spaces like social media

has been known to dox sex workers

gathers your data and sells it to third party sites

has actively and intentionally contributed to the deflation of sex worker wages

Dont even fucking think about touching my post if you’re a horny cumbrain, a SWERF, or are pro-porn industry/BDSM

Some sources:

The debate over Bill C-11 was marked by a massive effort from digital creators to urge the government to exclude user content regulation from the scope of the legislation. While Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez misleadingly insisted that user content was not covered by the bill, it took a policy direction to the CRTC (which is still in draft form) after the bill was passed to make that…

MindGeek was never a good company, and people in the porn industry have been calling them out for allowing people to upload CSAM, revenge porn, and pirated videos for years, but at least it was possible to get the majority of videos removed and people knew who to fight.
