Last Friday was a historic day in the fight against exploitative porn! 

As of October 15, Mastercard now requires robust age and consent verification for all depicted in porn on websites everywhere. 

This move will help to uproot videos/images of real rape, incest, child abuse, and trafficking from porn sites worldwide—the criminal content Pornhub became notrious for. 

With Mastercard holding a 30% share of all card payments outside China, this is a massive breakthrough. 

It's a direct result of the targeted efforts of the Traffickinghub movement—made up of many of you—which Exodus Cry has helped to advance globally, along with other incredible allies.

Mastercard’s new robust porn site requirements include: 

- Documented consent, age, and ID verification for all people depicted and those uploading the content

- Content review process prior to publication

- Complaint resolution process that addresses illegal/nonconsensual content within 7 business days

- Appeals process allowing for any person depicted to request their content be removed

We commend Mastercard for their decision to prioritize people rather than profits, and we know many survivors are celebrating this moment. This crackdown is a huge win for porn regulation, which has almost been non-existent up until this point. 

Thank you for being the heart of this movement to eradicate exploitative porn!
