Episode 78: Porn Performers Talk Pornhub and Payment Processing

"At the end of the day, what this is about is preserving white male power. If the consequence of going back on Pornhub is reducing the incomes of people who were already marginalized, who were already lower to middle income, who were already blocked from other forms of work because they are trans, because they are undocumented, because of disability, then it isn’t an unintended consequence. It is just part of how this thing goes." Melissa Gira Grant We talk to Melissa Gira Grant about Nicholas Kristof’s Op/Ed in the New York Times that led to Visa/Mastercard pulling out of Pornhub.
