The case of Gisèle Pelicot, whose husband drugged her and lent her unconscious body to dozens of men to rape her, made headlines worldwide.

One such site, removed, with millions of monthly visitors, is hosted in the Netherlands, by NForce in Roosendaal, NRC reported.

The company has arranged server space and internet access for the site for years. Conversations, documents, and public records show that the connection between NForce and the website goes back even further.

NForce’s current director and owner, the Israeli Simon Shlomi Elimeleh, has been offering services to Motherless for over a decade.

      That site has been around for years and most Netizens who know porn sites know its name. It’s not a secret.

      It hosts videos same as any other, but it also has unlisted videos you can only get to if the link is shared with you or you find it posted online. It’s not account limited, it’s just a string of characters in the URL.

      I suspect all porn sites host morally dubious content, and some of them host illegal content. But remember, legal porn includes pictures and videos of exploited and abused women. The lines are really blurry there. The only good moral position with porn is to not consume it. That’s easier said than done, but ethical porn is not common. (If you’re interested, seek out porn made by women for women. That’s not a guarantee, but they do tend to focus on the woman’s pleasure, not her subservience.) Not trying to preach, just clarifying.

          Definitely agree. GenAI porn, too. As the spouse of an artist, I somewhat resent GenAI from taking work from artists, but when it comes to porn? Have at it. Put those abusive and exploitative companies out of business. The sooner the better.

          The biggest argument I’ve heard against GenAI porn is that if we make an AI persona made for sexual exploitation, it can’t consent and it can be made to do things no sane woman (or girl, because let’s be honest, a lot of porn comms aim young) would ever consent to doing. I’m fine with that! Because the AI persona isn’t real. It can do the things that no sane girl or woman would want to do. If it has a personality, it’s a manmade personality, so you give it no moral boundaries whatsoever and no ego to bruise if it has to do some humiliating thing because it’s a fictional character. The only issue I see with it is if people watching this stuff wants a real person to do the same. But if these immoral people can be satisfied by GenAI porn, which gets better all the time, I think that’s a net positive for our women and girls — who make up half the population, by the way.
