THREAD: Here is more info and what you can do to help!
ModelHub & PornHub content can no longer be purchased.
This is due to @visa @mastercard & @Discover treating sex workers unequally & cancelling payment to MindGeek owned sites after misleading reporting by the @nytimes.

You can read about how @visa @mastercard & @Discover new policy disproportionately targets sex workers globally, denying legal workers desperately needed income amidst a pandemic and during the holidays in this article from @VICE Thanks to @samleecole https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7v33d/sex-workers-what-visa-and-mastercard-dropping-pornhub-means-to-performers
Unfortunately, the attack comes from a dishonest, anti-LGBTQ extremist hate group who wish to abolish porn altogether and whom the @nytimes author worked closely with to publish their propaganda & convince these credit card companies to pull out. https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-exodus-cry-the-shady-evangelical-group-with-trump-ties-waging-war-on-pornhub
The allegations from the dishonest @nytimes report fail to mention that porn sites do more to combat non-consensual sexual content & CSAM and have far less of it than major social media sites like Facebook. https://www.xbiz.com/news/256220/op-ed-adult-industry-has-much-better-track-record-monitoring-user-generated-content-than-big-tech
On top of that, the credit card changes do not combat CSAM, they only harm consensual, legal sex workers who use ModelHub to sell videos. Some workers have lost their rent money already.
The @nytimes report mentions nothing about going after the CSAM uploaders or creators.

You can tell them: These changes from @visa @masterCard and @discover unequally harm legal, consensual sex workers who rely on income from these sites during a pandemic!
Many models have expressed they lost their rent money, and others have lost 1/3 of their income or more!

The @nytimes article is misleading! Adult Industry sites are better at combatting non-consensual content & CSAM and have less of it than than conventional sites like Facebook!
This article is mostly citing an extremist hate group who's goal is to abolish porn.
