In this episode of Chatting with Candice, Candice Horbacz dives into a crucial discussion with Laila Mickelwait, founder of Trafficking Hub and the Justice Defense Fund. They explore the disturbing issue of non-consensual and illegal content on Pornhub, including child abuse and sex trafficking. Laila recounts the origins of Trafficking Hub and the challenges of regulating adult content while protecting minors. The conversation sheds light on Pornhub's negligence over the years, its flawed business model prioritizing quantity over verification, and the industry's fear of speaking out against major players like MindGeek. They also discuss potential solutions, such as implementing paywalls to prevent underage access and the need for stringent policies across all platforms.
