I originally shared the following post by TraffickingHub founrder, Laila Mickelwait, as a compliment to my own article on the same topicβ¦

πΓΈπ³π―Hub (AKA ππ³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨Hub) not only previously hosted multiple videos of one of Epstein’s victims on their website, they’ve repeatedly been fined for distributing videos produced via π΄ΙπΉ π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨ and π΄ΙπΉ slavery.
Rewind to June 2021…

In this lawsuit, Jeffery Epstein was implicated as being directly involved in the grΓΈΓΈming, π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨, and πing of a young girl over a span of many years, while using a number of his properties to engage in his multitude of high crimes (including Little Saint James Island) – physically, π΄ΙπΉπΆπ’πππΊ and psychologically torturing her into submitting to a life of exploitation via π΄ΙπΉ slavery, which she endured in the form of both conventional prostitution and the production of multiple π±ΓΈπ³π―ΓΈπ¨π³π’π±π©πͺπ€ videos plus livestreams once she reached the legal “age of consent” – the recordings of which were then “widely and continuously distributed on πΓΈπ³π―Hub” for many years.
And, in October 2021, just four months after this lawsuit was filed against πΓΈπ³π―Hub, the company paid out an undisclosed amount of damages to the many victims involved. Read about it, here:

In August of 2023, “MindGeek” tried to distance itself from its reputation by rebranding itself as “Aylo”, claiming that “the new name, Aylo, symbolizes a fresh beginning, reflecting our dedication to being a global leading tech platform that empowers hundreds of thousands of creators to earn a living, that employs innovative employees, and that provides hundreds of millions of users worldwide with safe content”, as announced on their website, here:

Finally, in December of 2023, πΓΈπ³π―Hub’s parent company, Aylo/MindGeek, admitted in a federal court to profiting from π΄ΙπΉ π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨, while being ordered to pay victims $1.8m. Read the Department of Justice announcement, here:

The company also named in this successful lawsuit against πΓΈπ³π―Hub’s operators was a popular company called GirlsDoπΓΈπ³π―, which was implicated as profiting from the production of π±ΓΈπ³π―ΓΈπ¨π³π’π±π©πͺπ€ videos via π΄ΙπΉ π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨ for profit. In the lead-up to this lawsuit, one of the π±ΓΈπ³π― actors/producers from the company was convicted and sentenced to over a decade of Federal prison time for his involvement in the company’s π΄ΙπΉ π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨ conspiracy.

Shortly thereafter, in 2024 through 2025, the two co-founders of GirlsDoπΓΈπ³π― were sentenced to Federal prison time for their roles in π΄ΙπΉ π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨ for the purpose of producing and profiting from π±ΓΈπ³π―ΓΈπ¨π³π’π±π©πͺπ€ videos. Read the Department of Justice announcements, here:

And, on September 3rd, 2025, a mere five days before GirlsDoπΓΈπ³π― owner, Michael Pratt, was sentenced to decades in federal prison for π΄ΙπΉ π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨, the FTC took action against “πΓΈπ³π―hub’s operators, Aylo and its affiliated companies (collectively Aylo)” ordering that they “will be required to establish a program to prevent the distribution of CSAM [Child πΙπΉπΆπ’π Abuse Material] and NCM [Nonconsensual πΙπΉπΆπ’π Material] on its websites and pay a $5 million penalty to the state of Utah”.

With all of the facts above in mind, it’s useful to provide some perspective regarding the vast popularity and international reach of πΓΈπ³π―Hub. According to TraffickingHub.com, a grassroots organization dedicated to justice for the many victims of π΄ΙπΉ π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨ and π whose π΄ΙπΉπΆπ’π abuse was recorded and hosted to πΓΈπ³π―Hub, “[i]n 2020, πΓΈπ³π―Hub was the fifth most-visited website in the world. It was also the largest and most popular π±ΓΈπ³π― site, with 56 million pieces of content live on the site, 170 million visits per day, 62 billion visits per year, and enough videos uploaded every 12 months that it would take 169 years if you watched them back-to-back. πΓΈπ³π―Hub had more site traffic than Amazon and Netflix, and more daily visits than the entire populations of Canada, Australia, and France combined. Researchers named it the 3rd most influential βtechβ company on global society, just behind Google and Facebook. 4.6 billion daily ad impressions were helping the site earn hundreds of millions of dollars annually for its parent company, MindGeek.”
πΓΈπ³π―Hub is an immensely popular website that has earned its reputation and viewership by hosting and monetizing content uploaded by third-party producers. This arrangement has enabled the massive-scale distribution of criminal π΄ΙπΉ content manufactured by π΄ΙπΉ π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬π¦π³π΄ and other assorted π΄ΙπΉ criminals, much like the π΄ΙπΉ π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬π¦π³π΄ who operated GirlsDoπΓΈπ³π― used their account on πΓΈπ³π―Hub for.
Indeed, π±ΓΈπ³π―ΓΈπ¨π³π’π±π©πΊ, π΄ΙπΉ π΅π³Γ¦π§π§πͺπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨ and slavery are inexorably connected – being fully dependent upon each other for survival, since inception…
