P*rn Execs Should be in Prison & protecting children from porn with Arden Young & Benji Nolot
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- Arden Young, is an undercover investigative journalist from Sound Investigations. Her undercover work exposes PornHub executives admitting that they knowingly profit off of the sexual exploitation of minors AND that they knowingly allow content of rape and sexual abuse content on their site because of an ID loophole.
Benjamin Nolot is the CEO and founder of Exodus Cry, a non profit that fights sex trafficking, and all forms of commercial sexual exploitation. He is committed to shifting cultural mindsets and laws that protect children from porn exposure and abolishes commercial sexual exploitation. He has been a featured speaker at the United Nations and is an award-winning filmmaker. Benjamin’s book Raised on Porn is a must read.
*DISCLAIMER: please consider your mental state before consuming, as we talk about graphic and abusive content related to the porn industry.*
In this conversation they expose the heart of today’s destructive porn industry, the human trafficking and sexual abuse content inevitably intertwined within it, and how porn is currently shaping an entire generation of young people.
We cover the addictive nature of porn and how it is affecting our relationships in real life, what’s different about porn today versus when our grandparents were young, how children younger and younger are first getting access to porn, why PornHub execs should be in prison, and so much more.
This was an INTENSE episode, and I hope you choose to listen to this important conversation for the overall NEED of awareness in this dire situation.

Dear Ellen, this is one of the most important episodes you have ever made. Gosh, I wish I could just give you a hug in person ❤
thank you for your encouragement and for being here 🥺
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow! EVERY SINGLE PARENT NEEDS TO WATCH THIS!!! Although hard to listen at times, this is crucial. Thank you for covering this topic. I know you sharing this is saving children. Rally the momma bears and let's make some changes!
I am absolutely LOVING this new season Ellen! Thank you for bringing on SUCH important topics!
AMEN, couldn't agree more
Im a wife of a former porn addict who secretly was addicted to porn our entire 8 year relationship and it led to him cheating on omegle, porn has been proven to lead to men cheating, it almost ruined our entire lives and he needed extensive therapy and we had to rebuild our relarionship from the ground but its still permanently damaged. i know porn RUINS lives, Because it ruined mine
You are very strong fighting alongside him. I am very proud that you can continue on in your relationship after such a difficult journey. I dont know if i would have that strength.
@zoesmith5803 we've been together since we were 18 and we're now 27 so the attachment was apart of that, the worst part is I caught him doing it the day after our wedding, lots of crying, fighting, everything you can imagine. We got extremely sick and lost a lot of weight from the stress of it, he hated himself to the point of suicide. but since he didn't cheat in person I was able to get through it, if he cheated in person I would have left, I admit the trust is completely gone though
@@thesweetestbearwhy stay if the trust is gone? What’s the whole point?
@@ishalovx he's hoping to rebuild it over time
P*rn does ruin lives. My heart goes out to you. Sometimes I wish I could live in the stone ages just to be away from it all.
I went back to my nanny family one summer (2 boys, single mom) and the mom was like “he discovered content on the iPad so I just let him do his thing for a few hours in his room” insinuating her 11 year old son was watching porn. I looked at her like she was insane and told her that was disturbing she’d allow it and said it was very harmful to him. I never babysat or talked to the family again. Literally disgusting. 🤮
That poor kiddo, he doesn't have the capacity to understand what he is seeing, not to mention how this mother is setting her son up to think of and treat women in the future.
Good on you for saying something!
@@managing_the_motherloadWe don't know her reasoning. It could be that she has no idea how destructive and low-vibrational porn is because she's not into it. She might be reluctant to make a big deal out of it due to fear of shaming him. I do think the situation has to be handled with finesse any way you slice it.
There's nothing wrong with porn sometimes a man has to realse his hormonea
Thank you Ellen for covering this and many other important topics.❤
This is so important--I'm so tired and heartbroken seeing these men and boys turn into zombies from porn addiction--it's in crisis mode right now--it's horrible. Available so easily on the internet. It's not healthy. It's just not. And it's getting worse.
Do not think for one moment that this is just a guy thing. My partner worked with a bunch of young men in their 20s who told them that young women are porn-addicted too! And acting it out online to boot! The sick thing is that this fake neo-feminism tells them to own their sexuality when all they're really doing is objectifying themselves. 🤦♀️ Porn is dark energy.
This is one of the key issues dividing men and women in dating and marriage right now and it’s swept under the rug
Dear Ellen, thank you so much for covering such a heart wrenching topic. I've witnessed the harm that pornography addiction has on familial relationships, a persons wellbeing, identity and self confidence. Yet I have also seen the hope and renewal that comes from Christ Jesus, He is able! God bless you.
I soo appreciate this work! I was kidnapped for a day by a sexual predator at the age of 6. Pornography and the use of nudes woman in movies as well really upsets me. So thank you for this video soo much
Great subject . I really like when you cover topics that this “modern” society needs to work on
WOW - this interview is CRITICAL to the discussion about the poisonous impact this content has had on society.
Wow I knew that would be hard to watch but I’m so glad I did its information everyone should be aware of. You’re doing an amazing job at raising such important topics ❤
This is such an important topic, thanks for amplifying it
Another great and important conversation Ellen. I appreciate your podcast episodes so much! I always talk about the harms of porn. There are so many aspects of it that are bad, I honestly don't think there are any good ones.
This is one of the best interviews that I've seen on this topic.
I heard from someone “when you give your child the internet you don’t just offer the world to your child, you offer your child to the world”.
I’ll wait. I’m grateful my husband put his foot down on that one when my head was in the sand. We are on the Luddite side of things largely for this reason.
This is so IMPORTANT!!! Thank you Ellen!
Such an important topic, thank you for covering this issue Ellen.
This needed talked about SO much 👏 thank you thank you 🙏 Lord help the hearts of these folks.
Ellen thank you for bringing this kind of topic in a so positive why. firs thing is for everybody becoming aware of all this and then working together to rise and shift into a better world. thank you so much for this content!
Thank you for covering this topic 🙏
This. I just had my coworker watch this as she’s contemplating getting her 5 year old a phone.
It is really definitely being targeted to PRE-PUBESCENT BOYS. My son was watching construction truck or monster truck or train content on youtube on his fire tablet and suddenly a suggestive youtube ad shows up... literally NEVER seen porn ad or porn on youtube in all my life of being and watching youtube EVERY DAY by myself for most of my life. It was so shocking i didnt have time to think or see who even was advertising incase something horrible shows up. My son is fucking not even 3 years old yet.
A similar thing happened to me! This nasty ad with two men roughly making out with each other around a kitchen and pulling at each other’s clothes. I was so shocked. I don’t let my kids watch TH-cam anymore. Some thing you can’t make your kids unsee. So disgusting and terrible that they put this stuff in ads.
This is so disturbing I can't watch the whole thing. I pray the government will just make pron illegal. Truly it is ruining everybody.
Wow!! What an incredible episode. Thank you for taking on these important and challenging topics. This is such important information. I am making a point to save and share this episode with others that need to hear it. 🙏
This is such an important topic. Thanks for talking about things no one else wants to.
Such an important conversation. Thanks for facilitating it, Ellen.
I really recommend when entering this deep hole, that you interview Anneke Lucas, Ellen. You will be shocked as many others. But the hands that control this world, is way more dark than what most people think. Anneke is a huge heart-warrior who knows depths about this, that we "normal" people cannot fathom.
So, I'm only 18 mine into this video. My question may be touched on later, but I'm not sure that I'm comfortable continuing. I strongly agree that sites like hub need to be shut down. They are not regulated anywhere near enough. There are paid for sites that only produce their own videos and have many safety measures in place. Sites like hub do not care enough to do anything. My question comes from hearing "regular sex" as only vaginal intercorse. Is same sex intercourse or even oral seen as deviant in this conversation? If so, I feel Ellen may not be who I thought.
So Important. Thank you!
Revolutionizing….. thank you with every thank you I could infinitely emote.
It's because twitter is porn. I honestly got on one day to look at a possible tornado in my home town, and it was straight up porn. I don't get it. I will never use X or twitter whatever it is again.
Elon renamed it "X" because that's the warning rating
Oh wow! I didn't realize it turned like that. Horrible. I like Elon Musk, but what a disappointment Twitter (X) sounds like now. 😢
I haven't used twitter in decades. I'm really glad now! Thanks for your enlightening post/comments. I'll take them as a warning and a blessing. 💯
Great conversation!!
Also, Ellen I'm obsessed with your outfit!!
Amazing conversation . I was introduced to porn as early as I can remember. Maybe 5 could have been younger. I can’t begin to express all of the ways it affected me and the process of learning to have sexuality without it.
Many cultures and religions have warned of the dangers of sex outside marriage. If only we had listened to ancient wisdom. Now even tv and video games contain what is effectively soft core content.
Porn as it stands today is incredibly destructive. Thank you for this episode
Just so important, yet this is not talked about in most circles. I am a long term Christian female, and yes there are men's groups at church. But until there is a Safe place made at church and elsewhere to admit they are in this. It won't stop. Who is going to admit this to a Pastor and face the fear of judgement? Yes there very aware Pastors out there, but there needs to be tables of men around tables with one subject, porn. Got to rip it open. Obviously there is men out of church who are in this all the time. How can they be reached? Where is the safe places to ADMIT it without fear?? I saw a Pastor once who was vulnerable and admitted in his sunday preach to porn in his younger days. He invited anyone up at the end for prayer, most of the men went up to the front. Someone has to open the door.
I totally agree! I know churches have programs like this but most people don’t go. My husband and I run a free addiction recovery class every week and hardly anyone comes, those who do are helped a lot though. It’s the stigma. We need to start talking about the problem like it’s a normal thing that most people struggle with (because it is) it’s got to be less taboo. It’s so destructive and so prevalent and yet especially religious men (and women) don’t want to admit they struggle.
I thought this was going to be a debate and thought how could someone defend this? Then i was relieved hahah
Always knew. These Porn execs know damn well what they’re doing. Why aren’t we holding them accountable? Do some of us still watch porn even after seeing this?
I'm afraid because the main group negatively affected is young men, and MANY ideologically-flawed adult women can make money from it, we've got A LONG WAY to go before we start tackling this issue seriously, even as young women get caught up in dehumanization/abuse. I think in cases like this we find it far too easy to say "well young men just need to control themselves" not realizing that these are literally children. And many people justify more and more deviant acts as "exploration", when in reality they are just trying to continue making money from adult content & content creation. It's a really scary time for kids.
I think we can teach love and exhibit the true beauty of connection through film but people dont know how to capture the true love of connection on film
I am a webcam model and I often talk about jesus on my show and tell people what is okay and not okay. People are sheep if they see it, they think it's okay. Almost an inability to think for themselves.
Woah this man should not be on a platform speaking this way. You need to speak the way it should be not the way you see it.
I wish there were timestamps 😕
Just saw MAXXXINE and I have been deeply thinking about the problematic porn industry and hollywood at large...😢
Oh wow EVERYONE needs to listen to this
Why she said about Twitter…..Twitter must be getting kickbacks from the porn industry. Because they allow EVERYTHING now.
My father letting my brother at 5 years old is what caused my abuse so i can 100% say porn is the problem.
Parents have to parent their children accordingly and protect them! Asking for more government regulation is a dangerous slippery slope... *hint hint* look at recent years with "mandates"... government is not our children's parent.
Predators appreciate you.
We can do both. Parents should protect children, and governments should, too.
@@y2ksurvivor lol keep paying more taxes!!! Enjoy screaming for more government involved in your everyday "free" life... slippery slope!!!!
@@y2ksurvivor how many covid shots did you take?
I'm a feminist and VERY much opposed to pornography. But I'm also a married lesbian and the tone of this conversation felt very homophobic (and transphobic) to me. I agree that gender ideology is out of control and harmful to children, but using trans actors or lesbian scenes should not be an argument for why porn is harmful. Porn is harmful to children regardless of what is depicted, AND some people in this world are going to be gay or trans. Making LGBT people feel like the enemy does not advance your cause whatsoever. It makes people less likely to listen to your valid arguments.
Many people still view sexual relations between anything/anyone other than a man or a woman a "perversion". You know that. Just accept it, because you're not going to change that. Being "offended" only messes with your own inner peace. (It's the same for there will always be people in our world who believe sex between anyone other than a man and a woman should be normalized, accepted, and not feared)
You're delusional, and you're living in delusion.
Trying to convert a group of people to another sexuality by targeting them is wrong and incidious. Exposing the ones who do this is no being transphobic
@fnffnchfhc154 I don't see how anyone is trying to convert people's sexuality. 1) that is literally not possible. Gay conversion therapy is an objective failure [if it wasn't do you think I'd be gay?] 2) implying that one sexuality is "bad" or that being attracted to trans people is "bad", is necessarily prejudiced against gay and trans people. And again, I think the trans agenda is way overblown and children should NOT transition, and that most "trans" people are really gay and being forced into a different gender because they are gender nonconforming. So homophobia is exacerbating the trans issue, not alleviating it.
omg my ex put videos of me on gdp and i didnt know there was a lawsuit
no to meditation and breathe work and being "zen" . go to God
I am very interested to know how ai is going to influence this same topic
Had to stop with the nonsense talk of "converting" straight people with lgbt content. Newsflash, straight men have always watched lesbian content. No need to shoehorn bigotry into an important conversation
He wasn’t just referring to lesbian content but more so content that is trans. Straight men think is a woman at first glance but it turns out to be a man who is trans
Im sorry my friend but anal sex was not commonly practiced amongst heterosexuals. That’s conversion
its been known for awhile that Ellen is a far right conservative and MAGA supporter. Not surprising
Parents can actually talk to their kids, the government is hypocritical for questioning TikTok on using data to determine age yet they are doing that with porn. It’s not the government’s responsibility to protect your kids that’s on you the role of the government is to prevent use from physical harming each other ore defaming someone else they shouldn’t have a say what we watch or unless it’s non consensual create.
Incredible episode! Thank you so much for using your platform to shed light on these issues 🤎
I feel like this man has other motives behind appearing on this podcast, even as much as he’s sounding safe…..
Elaborate more please?
@artandreki
Most communication is non verbal. Wearing his hat and jacket inside when the other interviewers are dressed more aligned to the setting they are in i.e. lounge/reception room, does look a little odd, at least from my perspective.
Also, lots of hand gestures compared to the others. I can't explain why but it's not resonating with me.
However, i don't know him and it wouldn't be fair to cast aspersions. The message in this interview is important.
@@ddanielsmcHe might be autistic. Not saying he is, because I don’t know, but autistic people often have mannerisms that get interpreted by others as untrustworthy even though we’re usually very honest.
@@ddanielsmc agreed
@@ddanielsmcBut what exactly are you implying? It immediately sounds like you're defending this dark energy, to be honest. Picking at something so superficial as dress is grasping at straws.
1:13:00
Why does there have to be all this trans- and homophobia in this episode? Not necessary
The man is the leader of a social Christian org and is open homophobic on the basis that it's "against god's design" Ellen (the host) is also an anti vaxx , MAGA Christian
its been known for awhile that Ellen is a far right conservative and MAGA supporter. Not surprising
@knighttalk
I’m a professional Porn actor Alex Charger and I dont agree with these guest. When will you hold the people watching porn responsible? Its like blaming McDonalds because you’re fat.. People should be able to watch whatever they want as long its not illegal and have minors.
Parents are responsible for their kids content
I have more to say
I agree and disagree, parents should monitor, but no parent can be around their child at all times. Porn is literally everywhere from soft to hard porn. We live in a society now where being reserved or modest is not promoted, but sex and nakedness is celebrated and tends to get more likes. Technology is now an everyday essential tool for the most part and you can limit your use, but you will probably be exposed in some form or fashion. The media promotes it so much. But as a person you definitely should seek ways to limited that exposure. We must take accountability too. But addictions come in many forms and porn is one of those and sadly they are not banning it limiting its reach various age groups.
I disagree, and your reasoning lacks some critical thinking skills. If McDonald’s was poisoning their food and spiking it with stuff that makes people addicted and fat, yes they should be regulated. If the fast food industry is starting to harm and poison society as a whole, then they should be REGULATED AND RESTRICTED to restore society to be healthy again. Yes people should be allowed eat and watch what they want, but you can’t seriously blame everything on consumers rather than the big powers in control of everything. Is it the people’s fault when doctors and society recommended cigarettes for all sorts of health benefits back then? Is it really the people’s fault and responsibility to know the fact and truth at all times when marketing, brainwashing, lobbying, and everything is against them? Instead of holding the people watching porn accountable, we need to hold the sick twisted wicked people pushing this agenda and profiting off this accountable. The porn industry is extremely exploitative and it is poisoning this society, starting with young minds that they brainwash from the tender age of 11 year olds. Wake tf up
I get where you are coming from. That being said, it's important that these sites prevent minors from viewing this type of content.
McDonald's is responsible for making people fat. We are responsible for our food choices, but McDonald's is also responsible for offering options that will literally shorten people's lives. Both parties are responsible and it is the same for the porn industry.
Both are 100% responsible. Stop whining.
Thank you for covering this topic!
