I was vaguely aware previously, that there are cases of women who are either raped in porn, or that are abducted and sex-trafficked in porn.
I initially thought this was something that only occurred in Europe or other foreign countries, and maybe just didn't want to believe this also is done in the United States. But obviously it does happen in the U.S. too.
Interesting how providing free porn is enormously profitable, just by the ads they run on their websites. And how they exploit even the deleted videos to draw users, and to further maximize advertising revenue, to direct users to similar material on their websites.
This is intellectual property law stuff, crimes that probably didn't exist 15 or 20 years ago. And the law is still catching up with this kind of online exploitation.
One of the above shorter clips was pulled from this longer version.
She presenttss herself as if she's a lawyer, fighting a battle against the online porn industry for 15 or 20 years. Or maybe she's just a reporter and/or anti-porn activist. Her credentials are pretty ambiguous. https://lailamickelwait.com/about/

Here's the only print article on this battle I could easily find, with links to various aspects of the story discussed in it.
