First modification:
In North America, the online porn industry is booming. Many low-budget photo shoots are taking place in Canada. The videos then end up on streaming platforms that are among the most visited websites in the world. But not all pornographic films are produced legally, some content is published without the consent of those involved. In certain cases, this can even amount to child pornography or rape.
For the first time, 50 women filed a lawsuit against MindGeek, the parent company of several online pornography platforms, including Pornhub. The case was recently settled out of court, but it could pave the way for more legal action by other victims of online abuse who are typically women.
