Porn Industry Using COVID-19 to Exploit Children

The abortion industry isn't the only one exploiting the COVID-19
crisis for their own bottom line. Pornhub, the world's largest
pornography website, is also jumping into the fray by making its
premium content free worldwide. Amidst the coronavirus crisis, media
accounts estimate over 1 billion people are in lock-down and Pornhub
has declared their content is an "enjoyable way to pass the
time."

The adult website has been working hard to bolster its public image
by engaging in other grand gestures of "philanthropy"
during this pandemic. But let's not forget, before the
coronavirus outbreak Pornhub was embroiled in controversy because it
has consistently and repeatedly failed to remove obscene and illegal
content from its site-content that depicts children and
sex-trafficking victims. Pornhub itself has not denied its top
searches involve the word "teen," but they're not
doing much because their premium users have made them billions of
dollars. But others are doing something. To-date almost one million
people have signed a petition to shut down Pornhub because of its
inextricable connection to the trafficking industry.

Just a month ago, we shared two stories of child victims'
horrific experiences that Pornhub was only too happy to exploit for
profit. Unfortunately, these stories are countless and Pornhub
isn't the only one using global quarantines to profit off
grossly illegal content.

Snapchat, (a popular social media platform primarily used by teens to
exchange photos) has been clearly and explicitly encouraging teens to
engage in "sexting" during the quarantine. Several major
problems here, but probably the biggest one is teens exchanging
explicit photos is child pornography and unquestionably illegal.
Sexting also exposes our children to graphic and addictive content
published by their own peers. This is sick. When companies unashamedly
make vulgar appeals to promote and profit off of the victimization of
women and children, we need people who will stand up and do something.

Now is the time for our Attorney General to take immediate action to
hold these billion-dollar companies accountable for their appalling
disregard of the law and their victims. America has laws on the books
to hold these corporations accountable and they must be enforced!

If you haven't done so already, take 30 seconds and add your
name to the list of thousands of other names urging Attorney General
Barr to make prosecuting obscenity-and the companies that
distribute it-a priority!
