WALSH: Pornhub Exposes Millions Of Kids To Hardcore Porn. They Aren’t Required to Verify Ages. They Should Be.

Matt Walsh

The world’s largest porn site, Pornhub, is facing renewed criticism for hosting thousands of videos of sexual assault and child abuse. In one case, 58 videos were uploaded of a 15-year-old sex trafficking victim being raped on camera. This is far from an isolated incident.

A woman recently wrote a blog post talking about her own experience of being raped at 14 and eventually finding multiple videos of her assault on the platform. The videos, she says, had titles like “teen crying and getting slapped around” and “passed out teen.” One of them had close to half a million views. She emailed Pornhub many times begging them to remove the content. She says they didn’t even acknowledge her request until she sent a final message pretending to be a lawyer.
