Episode 3 – P*rnhub Wasn’t Verifying Age Or Consent!

With Laila Mickelwait

All it took to upload a video to the world's biggest p*rn site was an email address. Nobody checked age, ID or consent.

Episode Notes

All it took to upload a video to the world’s biggest p*rn site was an email address. Nobody checked age, ID or consent.

Laila Mickelwait proved it with one test upload, then built the movement that forced 10 million videos offline.

Laila Mickelwait is the co-founder and CEO of the Justice Defense Fund and the founder of Traffickinghub, a movement signed by 2.3 million people from every country in the world. With host Justin Forman, she tells the story from the inside: the night she tested P*rnhub’s upload system, why the credit card companies became the leverage point, the Bill Ackman moment on Squawk Box, the insider who named the site’s hidden owner, and the overnight takedown the Financial Times called the biggest in internet history. Then she explains the model behind the fight: charitable dollars funding victims’ lawsuits, so survivors can go toe to toe with a multi-billion dollar industry.
