I've spent the last few months reporting this piece about Pornhub. What most people don't realize is that it's infested with rape videos. I talked to child trafficking survivors whose rape videos the company had distributed and monetized. Unconscionable: nytimes.com/2020/12/04/opi…

In Opinion “Pornhub prides itself on being the cheery, winking face of naughty,” @NickKristof writes. “Yet there’s another side of the company: Its site is infested with rape videos.” nyti.ms/3lHnh7Q

I owe a special thanks to so many young women and men who shared humiliating stories and documentation to spare other kids what they went through. Brava to Serena Fleites, whose photo runs with the piece; at 14, her life was upended by naked videos on Pornhub.

Let's be clear: The issue is not porn, it's rape. Just as the problem with Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby wasn't the sex but the lack of consent, it's the same with Pornhub. Search "13yo" on Pornhub, and you get more than 100,000 videos. There are playlists called Under Age.

A special question for Canada, because Pornhub is based in Montreal. Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau, you are rightly proud of your reputation as a feminist. So why does Canada host a company that inflicts rape videos on the world?

It's not just Pornhub, of course. Companies have enjoyed impunity, so even as we prosecuted individuals like Jeffrey Epstein we allowed corporations like Mindgeek (which owns Pornhub) to monetize rape videos. Pornhub is Jeffrey Epstein times 1,000.

Pornhub has more visitors than Netflix, Yahoo or Amazon. It rakes in money from 3 billion ad impressions a day. Why let a major company like this profit from child sexual abuse materials? So many of the kids I talked to had attempted suicide after their rape videos were shown.

So much sadness and awful violence, complemented by humanity and nuance, in this deeply reported piece by @NickKristof. The unforgiving nature of the internet, sometimes capturing people's worse moment, is something we will continue to have to address as a society. twitter.com/NickKristof/st…

One of the most disgusting things I saw on Pornhub were videos of rapes of unconscious women. The rapists would touch the eyeballs of the women to show that they were completely unresponsive. Imagine the humiliation of those women when Pornhub shares the videos with the world.

NEW: Pornhub is infested with rape videos, @NickKristof writes. It monetizes child rapes, revenge pornography, spy cam videos of women showering, racist and misogynist content, and footage of women being asphyxiated in plastic bags. nyti.ms/36Da8sa

Solutions are difficult and complicated. I don't have perfect ways to solve the problem of online child sexual abuse. But I do outline steps that would help. These survivors risked so much to tell their stories; I hope you'll read and share and speak up: nytimes.com/2020/12/04/opi…

The problem with Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein or Jeffrey Epstein was not the sex but the lack of consent — and so it is with Pornhub. — @NickKristof nytimes.com/2020/12/04/opi…

Tremendous reporting by @NickKristof on the exploitation that occurs on sites like Pornhub. It’s time for it to end. I will introduce legislation to create a federal right to sue for every person coerced or trafficked or exploited by sites like Pornhub nytimes.com/2020/12/04/opi…

Great to see the discussion today in Canada about that country hosting Pornhub and allowing it to inflict rape videos on the world. Child sexual abuse is hard to talk about, but once the conversation starts we're halfway to a solution. I hope Canada confronts the issue. twitter.com/ArnoldViersen/…

Some folks have been asking how to help Serena Fleites, the young woman in my article who at 14 had naked videos of her posted on Pornhub, in ways that sent her spiraling into homelessness. FYI, here's a gofundme that has been set up for Serena: gofundme.com/f/hsp3p2?utm_m… twitter.com/NickKristof/st…

Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau, I welcome your thoughts on this piece. You rightly pride yourself on being a feminist and supporting women globally, yet Canada hosts a company, Pornhub, that inflicts rape videos on the world. Will you look into the issue? nyti.ms/3mFuTc8

When asked about the presence of #childpornography and rape videos on the Montreal-based porn website Pornhub, PM @JustinTrudeau remains evasive about what he intends to do about it. @NickKristof @melmarquis #polcan pic.twitter.com/lHxPNK4Pio
