Document Trove: Pornhub Allowed Illegal Child Abuse Videos Even After They Were Flagged
The Federalist ^ | May 13, 2025 | Jordan Boyd

‘This was far beyond negligence. It was systemic criminal conduct — monetized sexual abuse on an industrial scale, driven by willful corporate decisions,’ said Justice Defense Fund CEO Laila Mickelwait.

Disclaimer: This article discusses child sexual abuse material and sexually explicit terms.

When Republican lawmakers across the country rolled out plans to crack down on on-screen sex companies for failing to verify the age of their users, the porn lobby, Democrats, and their allies in corporate media threw a fit. They defended the on-screen “sex work” as consensual and constitutionally protected. In reality, mass abuse, exploitation, and sex trafficking of children is routinely uploaded and searched on porn websites — sometimes without objection or hasty removal.

A 51-page document trove recently uncovered due to a “filing error” shows Pornhub allowed child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to stay on its website for years at a time despite its clear violation of federal law.

The previously sealed memorandum from December 2024 includes dozens of internal records and conversations showing Pornhub employees knew of content documenting the rape and trafficking of minors on their platform but failed to curb it.

A New York Times’ exposé determined the documents “show why we shouldn’t trust porn companies.” The evidence, however, increasingly indicates that Pornhub and a significant number of its patrons are complicit in sex crimes against children.

In several instances spanning from 2015 to 2020, Pornhub received reports from users flagging certain videos as involving someone underage but failed to remove the criminal acts from its website. One particular video, despite getting flagged to Pornhub content reviewers 13 times since it was uploaded in 2015, racked up 1.7 million views...

DC doesn’t give a tinker’s damn about Pornhub having underage videos on there. What they want is that everyone has to obtain some kind of Internet ID where you have zero anonymity online.

If they actually cared about underage sex, we would be utterly scouring the country to find and save the 300,000 sex trafficked kiddos that were brought in.
We would have everything on the Epstein list and know exactly which of our leaders, politicians, entertainers, bankers, lawyers, Supreme Court Justices etc screwed under age at Epstein Island. We would be seeing FBI raids and arrests.
We would see what 50,000 dollars of Pizza and Hot Dogs looked like for a Podesta pool party.

No, this isn’t about Pornhub. The NYT expose’ was not about that. This is them using fear and outrage to expand the surveillance state by stopping us from getting on the internet without a US Gov approved internet identity.

Leviathan wants more.

The owners should be tracked down one by one, and brought before the court of last resort. Then let the judge's hammer fall.
