When Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez says “sex work is work.”
Sex work is work.
The federal gov has done almost nothing to help people in months. We must pass stimulus checks, UI, small biz relief, hospital funding, etc.
Keep the focus of shame there, not on marginalizing people surviving a pandemic without help. https://t.co/eYib7310Rs

I wonder if she reads the news.
Pornhub purges millions of unverified videos amid allegation of hosting child pornography
Pornhub is purging all unverified videos from its platform — the latest move in an ongoing response to accusations that the popular pornography website hosts child pornography.
“As part of our policy to ban unverified uploaders, we have now also suspended all previously uploaded content that was not created by content partners or members of the Model Program,” the company said in a blog post on Monday morning. “This means every piece of Pornhub content is from verified uploaders, a requirement that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter have yet to institute.”
Among the problems with self uploaded and monetized pornograhy is that it encourages people to upload videos of rape, child pornography, and other material produced through violence and coercion.
Women sue Pornhub’s parent company for hosting GirlsDoPorn.com videos
A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of 40 women against Pornhub’s parent company for hosting videos produced by former San Diego-based website GirlsDoPorn.com, the owners and operators of which are facing federal sex trafficking charges.
The plaintiffs, identified as Jane Does 1 through 40 in the lawsuit filed Tuesday in San Diego federal court, allege Montreal-based MindGeek owns and operates a multitude of pornographic sites that have hosted videos featuring the women, and maintained its business relationship with GirlsDoPorn even as the site came under scrutiny for allegations of videos made through coercion and fraud.
“MindGeek knew it was partnering with and profiting from a sex trafficking venture for years,” the latest suit alleges. “MindGeek also knew of the significant harassment and trauma GirlsDoPorn’s victims were enduring by its continued publication of the victims’ videos. MindGeek simply did not care and continued to partner with GirlsDoPorn until it was no longer profitable because of the indictments and arrests.”
In the Superior Court case originally filed in 2016, GirlsDoPorn’s owners were sued by 22 women who alleged they were coerced to film pornographic videos or led to believe their videos would only be distributed to private owners, rather than proliferated online on GirlsDoPorn’s subscription website, as well as numerous free sites, many of which are owned by MindGeek.
I’ll say one thing for the professional porn industry, it’s regulated.
This democratized YouTube-esq porn is a free-for-all of abuse and coercion.
AOC’s take on “sex work is work” is as shallow and ideologically blind as her love of socialism despite the real time failure of Venezuela right before our eyes (not to mention every other socialist nation, but I assume she never cracked a history book).
For those who missed the sarcasm of my last post, someone should ask her if she’ll create an OnlyFans account. When she says no, they should ask her why. When she gives the reasons it isn’t worth the money, she should be asked why then is she encouraging other young women to do something she’s unwilling to do for money. You know they won’t encourage their own daughters to do this. The daughters of the proles can debase themselves online for money.
Sorry, these women can go pound sand, they were of legal age, the fact that they were naeive enough to believe that they were being paid to make sexually explicit material for one specific person is their problem. It was going on the internet and it is not a third parties problem that you are idiot that now regrets the things you did for a quick buck.
