How 100s Of Epsteins Are Running Free Online: Laila Mickelwait's PornHub Takedown vs. Privacy Challenge of Adult Sites Requiring ID w/ Emilie Hagen on "The Epstein List" – Ask Dr. Drew

Laila Mickelwait's organization Traffickinghub was pivotal in the "biggest takedown of content in Internet history" after pressure forced P●rnHub to remove 50 million images and videos – over 90% of its content. Now the activist is pushing for a new US federal law to mandate third-party age verification for all adult websites. ••「 LINKS & SOURCES: https://drdrew.com/7162025 」•• But could her proposal backfire? Critics warn: though the intention is to protect children, requiring all users to submit ID would effectively create the world's largest target for hackers – even bigger than the 2015 Ashley Madison leaks. How can we protect children online while balancing the privacy norms and free speech of adults?

Emilie Hagen investigates the latest weird releases about Jeffrey Epstein, exposing DOJ stonewalling and rumors of Maxwell’s testimony. Laila Mickelwait discusses her fight against P●rnhub, citing its role in trafficking and the need for child protection laws amidst First Amendment debates.

Laila Mickelwait is the Founder/CEO of Justice Defense Fund and Traffickinghub. Her book, Takedown, details her fight against Pornhub’s role in trafficking. She received a Master of Public Diplomacy from the Annenberg School of Communications and the Dornsife School of International Relations at USC. More at https://x.com/LailaMickelwait
