The porn industry is a harmful and dangerous billion-dollar industry that directly drives the human sex trade epidemic. While the progressive left whines about microaggressions and arbitrary limitations on their access to abortion, women and children are being exploited like animals for the sick pleasures of porn addicts, many of whom likely have no idea how much they’re contributing to the largest slave trade in world history.
This sick and twisted slave trade has been driven largely due to the expansion of the internet, but now, one major internet company has decided to stop working with the massive porn site PornHub.
PayPal has ended its payment processing with PornHub in a move that sends a huge message to the porn industry.
End Sexual Exploitation reports:
Making the business decision to cut ties with the incredibly lucrative pornography industry is no easy thing. Many corporations balk at the thought of jeopardizing any source of income, yet even so there are still companies out there who are willing to value human dignity above their bottom line. PayPal showed that it is willing to be one of those companies when it made the hard choice to cut ties with Pornhub.
PayPal made the right choice to no longer partner with the pornography industry by ending its work with Pornhub and we are encouraged by this new commitment!
When mainstream corporations normalize the pornography industry—such as PayPal, Carl’s Jr., Kraft Heinz, and many others have done over the years—they fund and promote its inherently sexually exploitive content. Not only does most mainstream pornography depict themes of violence against women, incest, and racism, but recent revelations also exposed the fact that sex trafficking and child sexual abuse videos have been found on Pornhub and other sites like it—yet another important reason we are grateful for PayPal’s decision to end its partnership with the site.
Although the sex trafficking epidemic is always worth mentioning in connection to the porn industry, it must also be acknowledged that even if porn was always “ethically produced” to borrow a buzzword from progressive proponents of pornography, it would be, as it is today, a spiritual cancor on society.
In an op-ed for the Miami Hearld, writer Patrick Trueman says, “Our sexualized culture, with its constant sexual portrayal of women, affects not only boys and men but girls and women, too. Mass-marketing advertising campaigns directed at young girls seem to dictate that they must dress and act like prostitutes to be valued.”
The porn industry can literally change how our brains are hardwired. Trueman notes, “Pornography is a powerful stimulant that can actually alter brain patterns, creating addiction. It is produced mainly for men, and it begins shaping their sexual road maps as early as pre-adolescence.” Just yet another detriment of the rampant porn industry and its excessive availability.
The excessive availability of pornography is more detrimental to society than we can even articulate.
What starts as sexual curiosity quickly turns into a massive slave trade. There’s no other way to put it.
Trueman explains, “Pornography thrives in an atmosphere of non-enforcement. So, too, does sex trafficking, which is found in every major city in America. Attorney Laura Lederer, a founder of America’s anti-trafficking movement, warned, ‘We should not say that pornography leads to sex trafficking; pornography is sex trafficking.’”
Not only does porn drive human trafficking but it also contributes to the desensitization of people to even care about the plight of those who have become victims of human trafficking. It’s a vicious circle. Porn drives human trafficking, consumers view porn, consumers are desensitized to trafficked sex victims, culture of apathy results.
As Trueman aptly put it, porn thrives in a state of non-enforcement. Thankfully companies like PayPal and other corporate contributors to the porn industry, have the power to take a stand and say ‘no more.’
PayPal is not always kind to those on the right, but in this case, we applaud them for putting their foot down and refusing to support the porn industry and the modern-day slavery that is human sex trafficking. Let’s pray that more companies will have be courage and moral backbone to do the same!
