Today we're joined by investigative journalist Arden Young from Sound Investigations to discuss her shocking exposé series on Pornhub. In a series of eight videos, Arden went under cover to dig out the truth about Pornhub's disgusting practices, straight from the mouths of its senior employees. We take a look at their admissions that porn is, in fact, addictive and that they are fully aware rapists and pedophiles use loopholes to upload illegal content. Arden's investigation also found Pornhub's employees admitting that they target pedophiles in the company's advertising. We take a look at what has happened in response to these investigations, from multiple states enacting ID laws to Pornhub ironically threatening to sue for "consensually" recording its employees. Arden also shares her faith journey and how her faith in Jesus leads her to uncover this darkness.
