Never, ever, EVER trust ANYONE who says they’re doing something “for the safety of children”. The war against porn and sex work has been co-opted by christian fascists.

Make no mistake, there is a hysteria around “child trafficking” nowadays, and that hysteria is being harnessed to pass laws that suppress our freedoms. SESTA/FOSTA has put the lives of countless sex workers at risk by forcing them back into the shady world of pimps and back alleys. The Texas ID law is pure government surveillance, and Project 2025 explicitly linked any trans people’s mere existence as “pornographic” and thus subject to all anti-porn laws.

Human trafficking is real. Child abuse is real. And it needs to be fought against.

But never EVER trust anyone who goes to the media and starts shouting about “our children”. It’s a fucking scam, and it’s usually making things worse for the people they claim to want to protect.

NCOSE, the organization that co-sponsored Traffickinghub, was previously known as Morality in Media, and used to rail against sex shops, push abstinence education, and once boycotted Disney for offering partner benefits to gay couples. The group’s president, Patrick Trueman, has served at multiple far-right organizations designated as anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Laila founded Traffickinghub while on staff at Exodus Cry, an anti-trafficking organization that describes porn as a public health crisis. Its founder once called homosexuality an “an unspeakable offense to God.” One of its tax filings described a mission of “abolishing sex trafficking and the commercial sex industry,” which would seem to include porn.

Fuck this bitch. Did she help some children? Maybe. But that’s not why she did it.
