Mastercard and Visa Prohibit Use of Their Cards on PornHub After Reports of Child Abuse and Rape Videos on Site
A step in the right direction.
Mastercard and Visa have prohibited their cards on PornHub following a report about videos uploaded to the site that depict child abuse and rape.
The two credit card companies released statements to the New York Times Thursday. Mastercard said that their investigation into MindGeek, PornHub’s parent company, “confirmed violations of our standards prohibiting unlawful content on their site.” Visa also said that they are “instructing the financial institutions who serve MindGeek to suspend processing of payments through the Visa network.”
On December 4 Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times published his report on the porn giant titled “The Children of Pornhub.” He begins the report by describing how PornHub actively works to cultivate an upstanding image in the public square yet does virtually nothing to curb the proliferation of shockingly depraved and/or illegal content on their site.
“Pornhub prides itself on being the cheery, winking face of naughty, the website that buys a billboard in Times Square and provides snow plows to clear Boston streets. It donates to organizations fighting for racial equality and offers steamy content free to get people through Covid-19 shutdowns,” Kristof writes.
“That supposedly ‘wholesome Pornhub’ attracts 3.5 billion visits a month, more than Netflix, Yahoo or Amazon. Pornhub rakes in money from almost three billion ad impressions a day. One ranking lists Pornhub as the 10th-most-visited website in the world.”
“Yet there’s another side of the company: Its site is infested with rape videos. It monetizes child rapes, revenge pornography, spy cam videos of women showering, racist and misogynist content, and footage of women being asphyxiated in plastic bags. A search for ‘girls under18′ (no space) or ’14yo’ leads in each case to more than 100,000 videos. Most aren’t of children being assaulted, but too many are.”

As for PornHub, they said they were “extremely disappointed” by the decisions of Mastercard and Visa.
Kristof’s report details what many of us have long known about PornHub, but it is good to see it enter into the mainstream conversation. There is nothing good or redeeming about pornography, period. Pornographic sites should face serious consequences for their participation in the destruction of the common good, especially if they knowingly profit off of illegal content.

RIGGED: Twitter Admits “Bug” Covered Up for the Lincoln Project’s Predator
Covering up for their own.
Twitter admitted that a “bug” prevented platform users from searching for the Lincoln Project in Friday, hours after the neocon group’s founder partially admitted responsibility in response to a wave of sexual misconduct allegations.
The Lincoln Project was effectively immunized from scrutiny from the allegations, with the Big Tech platform throwing a vital lifeline in its hour of need. Twitter, which made the admission in a statement provided to the Daily Caller, hasn’t explained why it became impossible to search for the Lincoln Project the same day its founder admitting to sexually harassing college aged-men. John Weaver is also accused of one incidence of rape, and coercing young men into homosexual activity with the promise of delivering lucrative political employment.
The neocon campaign consultant pulled a Kevin Spacey, admitting he was “gay” and apologizing for his DM activity on Friday. He has denied responsibility for the most severe allegations of misconduct.
Establishment Wikipedia editors kicked into overdrive to protect the accused predator’s reputation the same day, working to purge any mention of the misconduct allegations from Weaver’s page on the platform.
John Weaver has some top tier (probably paid) Wikipedia editors who are keeping allegations of sexual misconduct off of his page, even though he's admitted to some of them. Establishment media and political figures often utilize this to protect their reputations. @willchamberlain pic.twitter.com/eyR491lbTb

The Lincoln Project also ignored the allegations against Weaver, merely stating that Weaver’s own partial admission of guilt “speaks for itself.”
Following the suspension of Donald Trump, Twitter has taken its place as a dishonest publisher acting in the interests of establishment and media political figures. Enough whining- it’s time for conservatives and those who support democratic debate with integrity to build free speech platforms such as Gab, Parler and Minds.
