Thank you.
Ms. Fleites and Mr. Bowe, I want to thank you so much for your extraordinary testimony and for what you've done by coming forward as witnesses. It was you who put Pornhub on the run. It wasn't the big MasterCard and Visa. It was your willingness to be a voice and to step forward. To follow up from my colleague Madame Gaudreau, we thank you for your courage.
As to why we are here, it might seem like a bunch of people on a screen asking strange questions, but this is how we make laws in our country. We get witness testimony. You tell us that you're not an expert in laws. Well, you are helping to shape the laws of the future to protect other survivors. Your testimony is so important to us today, because we are going to take action. We are going to hold these guys to account. That is our job as legislators and as parents, because the system failed you.
You've given us so much. I won't make you repeat all the amazing things you said, but I was really struck by what you said about how they hassled you when you, as a child, were trying to get control of your life again from the exploitation, from the criminal acts that were done to you. They, as a massive corporation, hassled you.
Could you explain to me what that means? What do you think we should make them do so that they don't hassle any other young women anywhere in the world?
