A Cesspool of Online Sexual Exploitation, Courtesy of Cloudflare
“I should be excited about going to law school, or nervous about the workload, instead I have anxiety and I’m terrified that my colleagues will find the video… I shouldn’t have my nightmare posted online for everyone to see anymore. Videos of a crime shouldn’t be allowed to be monetized.”
This is what one survivor said after attempting to get pornographic videos of her, posted by her sex trafficker, taken off the Internet. She is just one of over 80 survivors of the sex trafficking scheme, Girls Do Porn, who are demanding that Cloudflare, a 2024 Dirty Dozen List target, stop providing services to pornography websites that are hosting videos they were forced/coerced into making (a form of image-based sexual abuse, or IBSA).
Cloudflare provides website infrastructure for some of the most prolific pornography, sex trafficking, and AI-generated image-based sexual abuse websites.
Cloudflare has the ability to prevent these websites from fueling sexual exploitation, but they are neglecting to do so.
