Mumsnetters - please watch this video by Laila Mickelwait and consider buying her book 'Takedown'. (Hopefully I've configured the link correctly!) The stories are heart-breaking.

It’s not a link to a random website, it’s a link to TwiX.

Thank you for posting op. I had no idea about any of this, neither the sexual abuse images on such a popular site nor the fight to remove them.

Weetabbix · 10/07/2024 05:55

@LilyMumsnet Even if the link is OK, the poster has just started a thread without really saying anything but directing people to a random website.

It's a request to buy a book, not a thread/ discussion - OP didn't have any point or opinion to post other than "Can everyone please buy this book and watch this video" - it should be taken down.

I wasn't familiar with this. It's horrific. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Pinkespressomachine · 10/07/2024 00:23

The link is absolutely fine. It’s a horrible story which I’m already familiar with but thank you OP for spreading the word.

Pornhub is banned from google searches etc to try and hide it from children
Having a post flagging it up seems irresponsible as it is searchable

Pornhub isn't "banned from Google searches". It won't offer the word Pornhub as an auto-fill suggestion, even if you've visited the site before or have it bookmarked, and it never shows the website link shaded to denote it's one you've used before - but that's nothing to do with Pornhub specifically, Google search does that with all porn sites as standard behaviour. It's not banned at all.

This is why renaming Twitter x.com was a terrible idea.

Why on earth did they do that?
It makes it sound so seedy.
”X” sounds pornish

“Twitter” didn’t- but rarely went on it- Even less now it’s called “ X”.

No one is going to click that possibly virus laden link.
( Unless they already watch porn).

People already have - see above - no viruses!

So this just looks like a thinly veiled advert for her book.

No, it’s just me trying to support the amazing work she’s doing on behalf of women.

OP posts:
LushAlice · 09/07/2024 21:04

Oh ye of little faith! It’s 100% genuine - google Laila Mickelwait and ‘Takedown’.

OP posts:
thestudio · 09/07/2024 20:53

Anyone concerned about clicking on the link can just google Laila Mickelwait Takedown.

OP, it would be good to start a thread in AIBU - a liberal feminist 'sex-positive' (LOL) attitude to porn is the norm on MN now and FWR is about the only place that you're preaching to the converted.

Ive just google and its come up on my phone

X.com is Twitter. It’s just a link to a Twitter post.
Pornhub is not Google-able on my device.

What? No it's not
It's literally the first result on Google if you search "porn"

Mirabai · 09/07/2024 20:39

Not sure what the problem is? x.com = Twitter.

Sadly I’ve read accounts of this before - the amount of trafficked and non-consensual footage on pornhub etc.

Hats off to Laila Mickelwait.

Laila Mickelwait has campaigned tirelessly to expose Pornhub's profiting from the exploitation of women and minors - sexual assault, non consensual acts etc.

It was largely her campaigning that resulted in Pornhub being forced to delete millions of videos where they couldn't verify that the participants were not minors. She has faced a huge amount of bile and threats of violence, as you might imagine.

Hi OP

Users understandably think the link looks a little off - we can see it's a video on X (not porn), but it might be best if you report your post to us, and we can help with an edit?
