Free Porn hurts sex workers & Criminalization doesn't help
Anti-porn laws hurt sex workers, and DO NOTHING TO IMPACT THE WILDLY ACCESSIBLE FREE PORN ONLINE. That is by design.
Wealthy businessmen, and tech companies have created a monopoly that systemically allows any user to steal content from sex workers and companies, or revenge porn victims and post it online, giving abusers and thieves anonymity. This has allowed ANYONE to watch porn for free including most children who are exposed to it at a very young age. Myself included.
You should be an adult to view my content, and you should be paying for it. These wealthy businessman and tech companies are not in the sex industry, and most of them have NEVER been on a porn set. Instead they work in the tech industry, and they benefit from laws that target the sex industry…because it doesn’t impact them at all. In fact… They actually LOBBY FOR ANTI-SEX WORK LAWS SO THEY CAN PROFIT.

The crash in the porn business provided MindGeek with the opportunity to purchase high-profile porn content producers, including big names like Digital Playground (in 2012), at discounted rates, each of which themselves operate dozens of sites.* Alongside names like Hustler and Vivid, MindGeek effectively came to control a huge amount of the mainstream “traditional” porn industry—the Hollywood-like production scene based in California’s San Fernando Valley, which has given us Jenna Jameson and Sasha Grey. As Adult Empire director of business development Colin Allerton told the Daily Dot, “every major studio and star is now partnered with MindGeek or has worked for a studio that MindGeek purchased.” Since then, industry workers have been in the difficult situation of seeing their work pirated on sites owned by the same company that pays them—imagine if Warner Brothers also owned the Pirate Bay. The way Siri puts it, it’s as though Walmart drove mom-and-pop stores out of business “and then to top it off, went into the mom-and-pop shops and literally stole all of their products to be resold at Walmart.” It’s a tough time to be a mom-and-pop porn shop.

Online porn streaming is already a fairly concentrated market. MindGeek, the Canadian company that owns Pornhub, the most popular porn streaming site on the internet, also owns YouPorn and Redtube, and has a 70 per cent share of the overall porn streaming market. MindGeek also lobbied for the introduction of the government porn block and just so happens to own AgeID.
