Child porn: Hold Social Media Accountable

Child porn: Hold Social Media Accountable

The Issue

The porn industry is exploiting children, facilitating the exploitation of individuals, and is out of control.  It needs to be reined in, now.  Violent "forced sex" and "rape" and "snuff" videos are common on sites such as Pornhub, and our government has done nothing to stop it.  It's time to legislate and take a strong stand.  We also encourage all credit companies to join Visa, Amex and Mastercard in not allowing these companies to profit on the sexual exploitation of minors and individuals, and to cease the uploading of violent sex acts against these people.

As someone who was sexually abused, I have met many individuals in support programs that have experienced the online sharing of their own sexual abuse, and the futility of trying to remove such material once it is on the net.  I believe that this material encourages the continued proliferation of sexual abuse and the creation of exploitative content. 

We call for action from the Canadian Government, MindGeek (owner of Pornhub and countless other porn sites), and all others that can act to do something to stop this... Now.
