About MindGeek and Pornhub
MindGeek is the corporate entity behind Pornhub and other exploitative sites. Pornhub has been the center of many controversies relating to stories of abuse and exploitation for many years. MindGeek uses sites like Pornhub to offer a product of “high interest” in the form of free videos. A high volume of these products is obtained for free by uploading “user-generated content”.
MindGeek follows a profit model where Pornhub and its other affiliated “tube porn” sites are distributed with a steady flow of free materials provided by its users. However, MindGeek ultimately decides how content appears on the website. MindGeek can then monetize this content to earn ad revenues (through an ad company also controlled by MindGeek). Since MindGeek does not employ a stringent process to check “user-generated content,” the very existence of MindGeek results in the dissemination of forms of sexual abuse and exploitation.

About Sextortion
Sextortion occurs when someone threatens to distribute your private and sensitive material if you don’t provide them images of a sexual nature, sexual favors, or money.
Policing agencies around the world have been sending out urgent warnings about sextortion against boys. Organized crime rings based overseas pose as young women on social media platforms such as Snapchat and Instagram.
