It becomes exactly. All right, whatever. That is the cost of doing business. And that is not serious enough for them to actually stop engaging in that kind of conduct.
And that's why I'm really hopeful with regard to the civil litigation side of things, because it doesn't rely on anybody with the will of the victims and their amazing attorneys. And today, since 2020, we've had almost 300 victims sue in 25 lawsuits, including class actions on behalf of tens of thousands of child victims. And they're doing well. Those class actions are certified.
They lost their motions for summary judgment. They're going to trial like they are doing well. And so I see I actually have more hope in the civil justice system to hit these companies where it hurts than even the criminal justice system does. to actually hold them accountable.
Yeah, it is. The wheels of justice turn slowly. That is absolutely true.
Yes, but they turn.
Yeah. That was pretty incredible what happened. So they deleted all of that content, but immediately they started getting phone calls. They were getting dropped on a personal level from their insurances for their many rental properties that they had luxury rental properties all over Quebec. And suddenly their lenders are dropping them, their insurances.
Suddenly they couldn't drive their Lamborghinis and their Maseratis and all the kind of luxury cars they had because they were being dropped from their car insurances. They were blacklisted in Canada as a moral risk.
I didn't know that that was even possible.
Yeah. But in their case, I was glad that they were getting payback for us. It was just sick. He's a CEO and minority shareholder because they had been exposed and they were getting held accountable.
This is your fault. I mean, that was happening. They were losing mainstream business partners. All the mainstream advertisers were canceling. And the CEO and the COO were finally forced to resign. And the company was sold as a distressed asset.
One of the things that was just reward in that moment of the big takedown that happened was the fact that I was getting calls from so many victims who were just crying out. With joy and relief that for the first time in years, their rape videos were finally off of Pornhub.
And it was like they could finally breathe because they had been fighting for so long for these to come down and finally they were gone. And that was probably the most meaningful thing in all of this when that happened. But at the same time, we're still fighting. We still feel like justice hasn't been fully served, but we're glad for the things that have happened.
There's been some good like compilations, everything that they say, the way they answer. And it's very rewarding to finally see them being grilled and failing.
Yes.
13 years.
Hiding all of the child sexual abuse. So in that parliamentary hearing, the heads of the leading child protection agencies in the U.S. and Canada, that they would have to report those videos, child sexual abuse to them. It was mandatory reporting in Canada. And they testified that they had not gotten a single report of child sexual abuse for 13 years.
And the serious consequences that is, is I think. Yeah. Oh, man, that's disturbing to think about.
Oh, they were just jumping ship. Hundreds of employees.
They will take it off LinkedIn. They don't want to have my geek on there at all.
After the New York Times piece, so many employees were jumping ship, just quitting. Entire departments were gone. Like the HR department was gone. My God.
