Ponogrophy, sex trafficking and rape are forms of violence. There is a common denominator to our violence in society. For an acute and clear writing with statistices is a book "Prey" by an astue author, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She writes many books on the subjecation of women in the world and especially the immigation problem.
One just needs to look around and think for yourself where violence stems.
Some believe there is not enough credit to go around when it comes th battling male supremacy. Or is it that some don't have all the right credentials to be considered worthy of recognition? I've seen too many instances of that, which weakens the movement for the personal aggrandizement of the few.
I did not know Pornhub is a Canadian-based company. That might in part explain their similarly enthusiastic embrace of the trans con, as that also relies on the active destruction of protective ties between parent and child to guard against grooming, as well as working to destigmatize paedophilia. Still, it's everywhere, including within families, and not new. I've just finished reading a truly horrific child sex abuse memoir by a woman whose father, in a middle-class Catholic home in NZ back in the 1960s and 70s, made her his sex slave from her infancy, and from the age of eleven sold her to an international child prostitution/paedophile ring run by the Catholic church. They also made pornographic films of her and other girls, and some young boys as well.

I do not think it is possible to effectively police a site which allows users to upload pornography. Here is why:
- There is no effective way to determine if the person uploading a video has the right to do so. Basically, you cannot determine if everyone in the video consents, and you cannot even determine if the video was stolen.
- There is no effective way to determine someone's age online. Basically, this means that it is very easy for a site to think it is hosting content which only contains adults, but some of the content could actually contain teenagers.
- I strongly suspect that human reviewers will become traumatized, depressed, ill, or mentally if they have to look at pornography all day. Remember, a lot of this stuff will be vile, and awful. Humans are not designed to look at this sort of thing all day.
I think the best approach is to not allow any website which allows users to upload pornography. This means shutting down Pornhub. I think allowing user generated pornographic content online is unethical because many many people will inevitably upload harmful, or illegal content (i.e. rape videos, sexual assault videos, child abuse videos, revenge porn videos, etc.).

One think which helped me understand this is to think of the women who make the pornographic content. I asked myself these questions:
- What is it like for them?
- How do they feel?
- Do they like or enjoy creating pornography? It is a fulfilling career?
- Does creating pornography lead to long lasting mental, and maybe physical harm?
- How many resort to drugs, and alcohol to survive?
For those doubting that working (*) in pornography leads to harm, here is a link to a story about a woman who worked in pornography, and died of a drug overdose at 43: https://www.tmz.com/2024/01/25/porn-star-jesse-jane-dead-dies-apparent-overdose-boyfriend/ . My guess is she needed the drugs to tolerate working in pornography. This killed her.
(*) - I agree that "sex work" is not work. It is a form of abuse. I used work in this context to mean "being paid to produce pornography".
