In this disturbing episode, I was joined by Laila Mickelwait (@laila). She’s the founder of the Justice Defense Fund and the global #TraffickingHub movement.Laila broke down real cases, including a missing 15-year-old girl found in 58 videos on the site, and detailed how P*rnhub’s parent company, MindGeek, failed to moderate content responsibly.Laila has spent nearly 20 years fighting trafficking, and she shared how her discovery of unmoderated, illegal content on P*rnhub led to a global campaign for accountability.We explored how early p*rn exposure affects children, the rise of sextortion, why age and consent verification must become the industry standard, and how to help protect kids in an unregulated digital world. Laila’s book about the fight to shut down P*rnhub (100% of author proceeds are donated to the cause): <a href="https://takedownbook.com/">https://takedownbook.com/</a> Sign the petition to shut down p*rnhub : Traffickinghubpetition.com—Folllow Laila—X: https://x.com/lailamickelwaitIG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lailamickelwait/">https://www.instagram.com/lailamickelwait/</a>For a high quality, ideology-free education consider enrolling in Peterson Academy: <a href="https://petersonacademy.com/">https://petersonacademy.com/</a>—Follow Me—All Platforms: https://linktr.ee/mikhailapeterson Instagram: https://instagram.com/mikhailapeterson TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@mikhailapeterson Website: https://mikhailapeterson.com Lion Diet: https://liondiet.com Biotoxin: https://biotoxin.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/mikhailapete​rsonpodcast  X: https://twitter.com/MikhailaFullerTelegram: <a href="https://t.me/mikhailapeterson%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B">https://t.me/mikhailapeterson​​</a>—Chapters—00:00 – Introduction01:22 – Who Is Laila Mickelwait?02:45 – The Story That Changed Laila’s Life Forever05:30 – How Easy It Was to Upload Crime to P*rnhub09:50– Launching the #TraffickingHub Movement11:30 – The Global Petition and Media Firestorm13:00 – Credit Card Companies Cut Ties with P*rnhub14:10 – 91% of P*rnhub Content Deleted15:30 – Why Verifying Uploaders Doesn’t Fix the Problem17:30 – Victims and Consequences 21:15 – Inside MindGeek and How the System Enabled Abuse24:30 – What Allowed This to Go On for So Long27:30 – Shocking Content That Was Monetized and Ignored29:30 – The Need for Age and Consent Verification32:30 – How Laws Are Finally Catching Up35:30 – The Long-Term Trauma for Victims39:30 – Laila’s Origin Story43:30 – Parenting, Prevention, and Shame-Free Communication47:30 – Early Exposure to Porn: The Stats and Impact50:30 – Age Verification Laws and Industry Pushback53:30 – Supreme Court Battle: States vs. P*rnhub55:30 – P*rn Addiction and Its Neurological Effects58:30 – Why This Fight Is Far from Over#TraffickingHub
