Another 62 ‘Girls Do Porn’ Victims Sue Pornhub for $600 Million
A lawsuit filed by more victims of the sex trafficking operation claims that Pornhub’s moderation staff ignored reports of their abuse videos.
A lawsuit filed by more victims of the sex trafficking operation claims that Pornhub’s moderation staff ignored reports of their abuse videos.
Sixty-one additional women are suing Pornhub’s parent company, claiming that the company failed to take down videos of their abuse as part of the sex trafficking operation Girls Do Porn. They’re suing the company and its sites for sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, and human trafficking.
The complaint, filed on Tuesday, includes what it claims are internal emails obtained by the plaintiffs, represented by Holm Law Group, between Pornhub moderation staff. The emails allegedly show that Pornhub had only one moderator to review 700,000 potentially abusive videos, and that the company intentionally ignored repeated reports from victims in those videos.
The damages and restitution they seek amounts to more than $311,100,000. They demand a jury trial, and seek damages of $5 million per plaintiff, as well as restitution for all the money Aylo, the new name for Pornhub’s parent company, earned “marketing, selling and exploiting Plaintiffs’ videos in an amount that exceeds one hundred thousand dollars for each plaintiff.”
The plaintiffs are 61 more unnamed “Jane Doe” victims of Girls Do Porn, adding to the 60 that sued Pornhub in 2020 for similar claims.
Girls Do Porn was a federally-convicted sex trafficking ring that coerced young women into filming pornographic videos under the pretense of “modeling” gigs. In some cases, the women were violently abused. The operators told them that the videos would never appear online, so that their home communities wouldn’t find out, but they uploaded the footage to sites like Pornhub, where the videos went viral—and in many instances, destroyed their lives. Girls Do Porn was an official Pornhub content partner, with its videos frequently appearing on the front page, where they gathered millions of views.

Yeah it's fucking disgusting. I just googled what is it in google images because I used to watch a lot of porn in the past probably from that brand too. I seen those faces, those women that probably some of them at least were forced to do it...
Nowdays I don't enjoy consuming mainstream porn at all because like it's... violent in a way. Consensual or not it always looks like something is seriously off, wrong like someone is waiting with a gun behind the camera you know. Like they just treat the girl like a doll and throw her around, cum, then away. Guys are ugly as fuck
There is this bellesa stuff, amateur vids, lots of things that seem more enjoyable for everyone and of course old good hentai
Honestly, nothing beats two consenting adults enjoying eachother and sharing it with the world. Professional porn is disgusting imo
Well, except sex IRL with someone you love amirite
Well yeah duh
Professional has better lighting
I like looking for couples. It also seem they know and enjoy each other more.
If they wouldn't still do it when the cameras aren't rolling then I'm not interested
A lot of American porn is just degrading towards women. It's either about making them look dumb, or as sluts or as objects (" free use" porn), or some crazy perversion to making them look like underage 🔞 teens. It's all bad/toxic; the mainstream porn industry.
Also all of a sudden 30 year old adult film stars are somehow classified as MILFs now a days.
The porn industry is all around ugly ( at least in US ) and should really be ran by women mostly. Also deserves government intervention so that human trafficking doesn't happen like it did with this "girls do porn" monsters.
A lot of American male porn actors have been found guilty of sexual abuse as well. We just don't hear about it in mainstream news.
The real question is: can consent be bought?
Do you go to a job you hate every morning? Then, yes, consent can be bought.
It's messed up when people go to sex work out of desperation, but way too often recognizing this is used as an excuse to ban sex work, when it should be a reason to provide everyone with basic living conditions.
Banning sex work often makes the situation of those people even worse because they are driven into shadier environments rather than having any amount of protections.
The people who run said shadier environments usually support banning sex work so they can get cheaper labour force :). Capitalism runs even behind the scenes.
Yeah, as someone who has done survival sex work, the illegality is a plus for the Johns’s. “Officer, the man that was supposed to pay me for a sex act changed his mind afterwords!” Or removed the condom mid act, or “oops, wrong hole!” Or the fact that if you get murdered it’s not really a big deal - are you going to ever talk to cops?
I think sex work is a hell that no one should have to go through. Maybe you can run an OF or sell feet pics without trauma, but I don’t have nightmares about working fast food or retail like I do the sex work. The illegality makes the hell worse though.
That's exactly the point.
How much of our lives can money buy?
What if I wanted to sell my whole remaining time for the benefit of the ones I love, in the form of organs?
Should we allow money to buy anything? Or should we actually make people less desperate so that they are not willing to sacrifice all they have for peanuts?
You can sell your organs and body to Emory in Atlanta. We'll, you COULD, around 2010 still.
$2000 cash, and you signed off your corpse.
I'm glad you brought this up, because yeah we're all selling our bodies and time. I wouldn't say this means we consent, though. We don't need to change what consent means to make capitalism sound better than it is.
If you're "incentivized" (e.g will be starved and punished otherwise) by a system to do something you hate, you can't call that consent.
If you had a system where women were raised and then presented with the option of either having sex with you & being allowed to participate in modern society, or being discarded in the wilderness, not being allowed to even build anywhere/make it on your own because all the land is owned by either private individuals or the government, then those women aren't free.
As we agree, just by changing the demand from "have sex" to "do manual labor" or "rent out your mind so someone else can own the product of your thoughts (IP)" doesn't change whether or not it's consensual.
I never last that long anyways
Amazon still sells Milo & Otis
Is there a good porn site alternative?
The entire internet
Pretty much only somthing like Reddits gonewild community. Wich forces uploaders to verify and not be a seller. Its mostly for pictures tho. Atleast thats as far as i can see.
The classic gonewild is a bit sexist, though. They say it's for porn of all sexes, but male posts get buried. It's fine to be female-only, but then just say that.

I'd say it's become more morally murky now that so many individuals are making porn as almost a gig economy thing. Sure, the economic pressures that caused that are themselves pretty exploitative but I'm reminded of the line: 'if you think a prostitute is selling their body and a construction worker isn't then that's your problem'.
who tf is exploited to make my cg furry hentai midget fart porn aside from some Indian's graphics card...
Probably you...

That’s like watching an action movie and finding out later that they really murdered the actor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crow_(1994_film)
The Crow was released in the United States on May 13, 1994. The film received positive reviews from critics.[4] A sleeper hit at the box office, it grossed $94 million on a $23 million budget and gained a strong cult following.
On March 31, 1993, at EUE Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina, Lee was filming a scene where his character, Eric, is shot after witnessing the beating and rape of his fiancée. Actor Michael Massee's character Funboy fires a .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 629 revolver at Lee as he walks into the room.[19] A scene filmed two weeks before Lee's had called for the same gun to be shown in close-up. Revolvers often use dummy cartridges fitted with bullets, but no powder or primer, during close-ups as they look more realistic than blank rounds which have no bullet. Instead of purchasing commercial dummy cartridges, the film's prop crew, hampered by time and money constraints, created their own by pulling the bullets from live rounds, dumping the powder charge but not the primer, then reinserting the bullets. Witnesses reported that two weeks before Lee's death they saw an unsupervised actor pulling the trigger on the gun while it was loaded with the powderless but primed round. Having not removed the primer, the primer could detonate with enough energy to launch a bullet and lodge it in the barrel.[20][21]
In the fatal scene, which called for the revolver to be actually fired at Lee from a distance of 12–15 feet, the dummy cartridges were exchanged for blank rounds, which feature a live powder charge and primer, but no bullet, thus allowing the gun to be fired without the risk of an actual projectile. As the production company had sent the firearms specialist home early, responsibility for the guns was given to a prop assistant who was unaware of the rule for inspecting all firearms before and after any handling. Therefore, the barrel was not checked for obstructions when the time came to load it with the blank rounds.[20][21] Since the bullet from the dummy round was already trapped in the barrel (a condition known as a squib load), this caused the .44 Magnum bullet to be fired out of the barrel with virtually the same force as if the gun had been loaded with a live round, and it struck Lee in the abdomen, mortally wounding him.
