Dear Friend,

Together, we will make pornography unacceptable in society!  

We are doing this together by 1) dismantling the infrastructure that holds up this criminal enterprise, and 2) driving pornography out of the mainstream.  

Just a few years ago, holding Internet pornography websites accountable under the law for their role in hosting, distributing, and profiting from child sexual abuse material (CSAM), rape, sex trafficking, and sexual abuse images seemed to be an impossible task. Thanks to your help, we are exposing these rampant crimes while alerting of the harms of pornography to users, children, families, and the public! It is working and Big Porn has been severely weakened. 

Because of your actions and your support of our Law Center, Research Institute, Corporate Accountability, and Policy teams, survivors of child sex trafficking, CSAM, and sexual abuse images posted to pornography websites are one step closer to securing justice while the financial and distribution foundations that have allowed these sites to act with impunity are crumbling. 

Remember all online donations this month will be TRIPLED! Help keep this momentum going!

SPOTLIGHT: HOW GOLIATH IS FALLING – THE DEMISE OF PORNHUB  

Our campaign against Pornhub, and its parent company MindGeek, is perhaps the most successful in NCOSE’s 60-year history. Since the launch of this campaign in 2020: 

  • NCOSE has moved many corporations to open investigations into the rampant CSAM, filmed sex trafficking, and other criminal abuse material on Pornhub. 

  • All major credit card companies cut ties with Pornhub, and those connected to its parent company MindGeek. The only form of payment available is cryptocurrency. Mastercard and Visa have extended their policies to some other pornography websites. 

  • Groundbreaking articles exposing the pernicious practices of Pornhub and MindGeek have been highlighted in dozens of major outlets, including the BBC and New York Times. 

  • NCOSE ally, Exodus Cry, led a public petition campaign against Pornhub, resulting in two million signatures. 

  • Roku, Comcast, and Instagram announced they will no longer serve as distribution partners of  Pornhub. 

  • NCOSE moved all mainstream corporations, including Kraft-Heinz, Unilever, and Wish, to stop running ads on Pornhub, significantly hurting MindGeek’s revenue. 

  • The Canadian Parliament conducted hearings into Pornhub and MindGeek which revealed even more abuses. 

  • The NCOSE Law Center filed the first-ever class action lawsuit against Pornhub and MindGeek, which continues to move forward in the courts. Nearly a dozen more lawsuits have been filed!  

  • Criminal investigations of Pornhub/MindGeek began in the United States and other nations. 

  • The CEO and COO of MindGeek fled the company and laid off 70% of its employees. 

  • Legislation targeting Pornhub, advocated for by NCOSE’s global arm, the International Centre on Sexual Exploitation (ICOSE), continues to be introduced in numerous countries, including the U.S. 

Sincerely,
