Information & Ethics committee I have just one last comment. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to share this. I think it's relevant to this conversation. There's another piece of information that I was made aware of through a MindGeek whistle-blower moderator that I think should be fully investi

Information & Ethics committee I would like to. Thank you so much. MindGeek came before this committee a couple of weeks ago and said they were a partner of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. I would suggest they're not a partner. I think you should ask NCMEC about that statement. I thi

Information & Ethics committee I can speak to that, if you'd like.

Information & Ethics committee Like I mentioned before, MindGeek itself has emailed victims, telling them that they acknowledge that the software does not work. MindGeek itself came to this committee and said that to this committee, that they acknowledge that the fingerprinting software does not work in every

Laila Mickelwait
Information & Ethics committee I will do that. Thank you. I don't know if it would be possible for me to make a quick suggestion with regard to a solution. I think it's important for us to serve those who have been victimized, to provide the important trauma therapy and services for victims, but it's also ver

Laila Mickelwait
Information & Ethics committee Thank you so much. I think it's important to speak to this issue of complicity and knowing in the distribution of this kind of illegal content. I want to give the committee two brief examples, because I am a witness and I want to tell the committee the information that I have on

Information & Ethics committee It's standard procedure for them to try to distract, to try to defame and to try to discredit those who are telling the truth about what is going on on their site. I came before this committee and I gave you testimonies of survivors who've personally reached out to me. These ar

Laila Mickelwait
Information & Ethics committee Absolutely.
February 19th, 2021Committee meeting
Laila Mickelwait
Information & Ethics committee Yes. I just thought this was a very important point. Even after the major credit card companies disengaged from MindGeek, causing them to completely upend their business model and make these very recent changes that they should have made over a decade ago...they were driven by
February 19th, 2021Committee meeting
Laila Mickelwait
Information & Ethics committee Thank you for that important question. The response of MindGeek has been really inexcusable. They have sought to call advocates who are speaking out about this liars. They've called me personally a liar many times, and said that I was intentionally misleading. They have harassed
February 19th, 2021Committee meeting
Laila Mickelwait
Information & Ethics committee Yes. A number of whistle-blowers from MindGeek have reached out. I have been in contact with them. Attorneys have also been in contact with them. They've also been put in touch with law enforcement. These whistle-blowers who've come forward have revealed things about the way Por

Laila Mickelwait
Information & Ethics committee Thank you. For anyone who's viewing this online and also for the committee, I want to offer a content warning before I get started of graphic, very offensive language and descriptions of sexual violence. I don't do this to be sensational. I do it because I think it's important f
