Exactly. And Google has the power to suppress. So they are just not โ innocent bystanders and all this because Nick Kristof, when he did his article, Children of Pornhub, yeah, he's the two-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist from the New York Times that took this. He heard about this. Just to give people a recap of what happened. So the Trafficking Hub campaign went viral.
I started a petition. I wrote an op-ed about this, an essay. got a lot of traction. The petition went viral, 2.3 million signatures today from every country in the world. Lots of media articles were written about this. And then Nick Kristof did this huge investigation. One of the things that he pointed out was Google's power over all of this. And I look at this and I see there are enablers.

So that would include the credit card companies, the financial institutions, and Google. And so I think Google, they don't let you surface results for how do you kill yourself.

And I have dozens of examples of Google search results that are confirmed. If that link was clicked on Google, it would go to a confirmed case of child abuse on Pornhub. And I've shown those to Google.
