The Black Sex Worker Collective seeks to:
“ … amplify the voices of Black Sex Workers by addressing their needs through peer support, legal assistance, housing and other basic needs assessment. Our goal is to create a safe space where the unique experiences and needs of current and former Black Sex Worker voices are validated and responded with appropriate needs based resources.” Sex workers are often overlooked, unwelcome, and left without support, even when it comes to the best of social justice movements. I’ll be donating a portion of my @pornhub income this month from THINGSIWISHICOULDINSTAGRAM .com to @thebswc. #blacksexworkercollective @akynos

I need to speak up. You may have heard recently about a viral video going around saying horrible things, made by Exodus Cry. Before blindly believing what the video is saying, I beg of you to please do a google research of Exodus Cry. They are an anti-LGBTQ, anti-reproductive rights, anti-porn, right-wing CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALIST GROUP founded by Benjamin Nolot; a highly problematic man whose mission is to take abolish pornography and adult work. Their claim that Pornhub is profiting off of child porn is FALSE. Illegal content is (and always has been) strictly prohibited on Pornhub; that includes any porn involving anyone underage, and any porn involving anyone who is there without consent. EVERY SINGLE video & photo uploaded to Pornhub is reviewed manually by a large team of moderators – ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS – before being published. (I personally know some people on this team, and believe me – it is a horrific job.) In addition, all content is scanned using PhotoDNA and YouTube CSAI technologies. Content removal requests are prioritized and acted upon within hours, not days. Victims of “revenge porn” or non-consensual content are not required to provide any ID to request a video be taken down – this is just DONE, PERIOD. The videos are then fingerprinted so they cannot be re-uploaded, and the user is banned. PH has always worked with authority to find and stop these sick abusers. Exodus Cry is attempting to push a Christian Fundamentalist agenda – to abolish pornography & adult work – under the guise of Activism. It’s dangerous, misguiding, and super fucked up. Please, please, please do your research on these people before deciding to believe them.
