According to reports, Pornhub’s Instagram account has been removed.
The news was pointed out by Laila Mickelwait, the founder and CEO of the Justice Defense Fund. The CEO issued a statement saying “Instagram has made the right decision by cutting ties with Pornhub, and now joins Visa, Mastercard, Discover, PayPal, Grant Thornton, Heinz, Unilever, Roku, and many other companies in rejecting to do business with Pornhub, a site infamous for monetizing the sex trafficking and criminal sexual abuse of countless victims including children.”
Mickelwait doubled down on her thoughts, saying “It is worth remembering that it’s illegal in the United States according to the Trafficking Victim’s Protection Act to knowingly benefit from a sex trafficking venture. Now, it’s finally time for Google search, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Reflected Networks to follow suit.” She then posted another tweet showing a video of the Instagram account seemingly scrubbed from Google’s search engine.
