Laila Mickelwait has been working to shut down Pornhub and hold its executives accountable for aiding trafficking and child abuse for years and now she’s nearly there. I’ll be embroidering this incredible women’s name on Jean Hatchet’s Terf dress.

To clarify it's not "being shut down" it's removing unverified content again.

Hate to break it to you but there are thousands of streaming video porn sites online most don't have any verification in place at all. People just focus on Pornhub only as it's the most well known.

Your sneering and lack of empathy for women has no place on a women's forum. I don't know why you're here.

I think men caught up in porn, fetish, AGP etc have no idea of the normal societal values of respect for others, the importance of safeguarding children, the exploitation of women etc.

You get the same whinging, whining and whataboutery when it comes to prostitution too.

It's almost like some men get off on the thought that they could be raping a trafficked and/or underaged woman and don't want anything that could ruin the fantasy to be enacted.

I am not, have never been, and never will be a porn user.

Same here, @WinterTrees !

And here. Absolutely revolting.

I thought Pornhub's viewing numbers would drop after they removed a large number of videos back in 2020 I think, but they're still massively popular in France at least. Fun fact- France blocked Pornhub recently and in the space of 30 mins ProtonVPN's membership there increased by 1,000% (according to ProtonVPN see tweet below). I guess because PH is the most talked about and gets so much free advertising that's the first choice for many.

And I understand this is also about continuing to remove unverified videos just because they are unverified without any evidence there is abuse or trafficking happening? This would seem unlikely now and in recent years since PH has very strict rules in place including users to verify their ID to upload anything new and to state exactly who is depicted in the video, I believe the other big name porn sites like xvideos are slowly starting to follow suit.

There has also been misinformation about PH- for example Julie Bindel lied about PH having a "war r*pe category".

Seriously - you're whining that Julie Bindel incorrectly alleged pornhub has a war rape catgory? Of all the thibgs you could have chosen to highlight about war crimes against women and girls, it's a Julie Bindel comment?

Again, that's very revealing but not in a good way.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 11/06/2025 07:30

all this anger because pornhub are being forced to remove videos that the uploader can’t prove are made by consenting adults only.

I mean that sounds like an unequivocally good thing to me.

oh, and this is a feminist board. You can fully type out the word ‘rape’ for heaven’s sake.

porn (even porn that might be created without the consent of the participants) = good

typing in full the word used to describe sex without consent = not ok, break out the asterisks!

Tiredofwhataboutery · 11/06/2025 08:24

Haven’t pornhub just left France (second biggest market) due to a similar thing?

WinterTrees · 11/06/2025 08:21

Wow, aren't we lucky to have the valuable insider knowledge of these porn site experts and rape video connoisseurs, right here on the FWR board?

If you have came across any videos of the sense you are describing I hope you have reported them to the police, the IWF and the porn site you have seen them on?

Unsurprisingly I have not come across any of these videos Christinapple, because I am not, have never been, and never will be a porn user. Your assumption that everyone is speaks volumes.

There are strong Jane 'extreme porn advocate' Fae vibes with this one...

well done Laila.

So she's trimmed the hair on the head of one porn player. One hundred more will grow in its place. Don't you realise that there are thousands of other sites with the exact same content. Does anyone even use pornhub anymore? I prefer xvideos or redtube.

This is not the flex you think it is! 🤯🤯

myplace · 11/06/2025 07:37

Laila is a shero. She has raised awareness, driven up standards and expectations, and shifted the dialogue and direction of travel to protect the vulnerable.

Of course men will always make more, that’s the nature of the porn addled brain and a consumer society. That doesn’t mean it’s acceptable and it doesn’t lessen her achievement.

Given the evidence and impact of it, why haven't the government intervened sooner? 🤔 There seem to be ridiculous laws and regulations for banal BS, but nowt for this sort of thing? Odd.

As I said earlier, governments could put an end to this if they wanted to. Why aren't we asking, why don't they want to?

So this means, what? We should sneer or dismiss this woman’s efforts? Honestly Christ, if you call yourself a feminist are you not happy to hear of this win however tiny and insignificant? Plus, who knows, maybe this is the tiny flame that starts a bigger flame. We can but hope.

I don't think Chris calls himself a feminist. He's just a bloke who hates women and loves porn. No idea why he posts on here.

Is that where all the child rape videos are hosted now then?

If you have came across any videos of the sense you are describing I hope you have reported them to the police, the IWF and the porn site you have seen them on? Pornhub and others as mentioned now know the identify (because they verified, so tracking IPs isn't even needed) of everyone who has uploaded a video to their site and they will co-operate with LE.

gosh, imagine you being deprived of images of child abuse. Your jubilation that you can continue to find these elsewhere on the internet is just super

I know - really weird - I've never come across anyone who announced to a room full of strangers what their favourite porn sites are - social skills really are tanking
