Ep. 2- The true story behind Pornhub's downfall | Helen Taylor and Benjamin Nolot


Listen Later

Benjamin Nolot and Helen Taylor give the inside scoop about the trials and successes of the global #Traffickinghub campaign that held Pornhub and its executives accountable for distributing and profiting from criminal image-based sexual abuse, including videos of rape, child abuse, and sex trafficking.


In early 2020, after one of Exodus Cry's directors published "Time to Shut Pornhub Down" in the Washington Examiner, a grassroots movement exploded, demanding the "world's biggest porn site" be shut down and held accountable. The petition amassed over two million signers from 192 countries, Exodus Cry's animated video on it went viral with 34 million views, and, after the New York Times featured the story on their front page, Pornhub was faced with an atomic PR situation.

Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and other major brands cut ties with Pornhub, the site deleted 80% of their content—about 10 million videos—overnight, and they were hit with lawsuits from victims totaling over $1 billion. Pornhub's CEO and COO have recently stepped down and the brand has been kicked off Roku, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Benjamin Nolot is the CEO and Founder of Exodus Cry and Helen Taylor is the Vice President of Impact at Exodus Cry.
