the porn industry, there just needs to be way more scrutiny because as one lawmaker was saying the other day, you can be sure that if these websites, if these porn sites, they were tutorials about how to make a bomb or how to become a terrorist, this content would be taken down in seconds.

The website would be geo-blocked.

We need to take sexual violence towards women that seriously.

Because it is just this endless cycle of violence that will keep perpetuating itself.

And the more this is proven, we have the statistics, this is stuff we know, the more men are exposed to this kind of extreme content that normalizes it, that desensitizes the men, the more they are likely to act upon it.

Dominic Pelico essentially used Coco like a newspaper in which he put an ad.

You know, this is what I'm doing to my wife who would like to come and do it too.

And if it wasn't for that website...

There is no way he would have been able to recruit that over 70 men.

So while websites argue that they are not publishers, all they're doing is hosting this content and they can't be made responsible for the illegal videos that users are uploading.

It makes it hard when you are now grading your own homework, because that's what happens, for example, in the case of motherless, is that they are responsible for taking down the content and they are responsible for saying what's illegal and what's illegal.

So, you know, how do we stop?

This problem, well, I think, you know, laws when it comes to moderating these sites, making sure that extreme content is just not available at all because it is unlawful.

It shouldn't exist anywhere.

And I think that will be a great first step in trying to, you know, combat this issue.

I hope so.

And we're working on a second investigation right now

where there are a ton more survivors.

And we also look into how hard it is for law enforcement to try and keep track of these sites, try and keep track of what's being uploaded there.

And once they see maybe users sharing this kind of content, they don't have endless resources to speak with men 24-7 and try and find out where they live, who they are.
