Episode Description
Welcome to the first Exodus Cry Podcast episode of 2024! This week we sit down with Arden Young from Sound Investigations to discuss how the Traffickinghub campaign inspired her to become an investigative journalist aiming to expose the criminal activity within MindGeek/Aylo, Pornhub’s parent company.
As a child actor in Hollywood, Arden was exposed to the predatory nature of the industry and witnessed inappropriate behavior involving children. Growing up, her father was a private investigator and lawyer, often including her in investigations to show her the ropes. Arden left Hollywood and her acting career in her early twenties, after which she learned of the Traffickinghub campaign. With investigative journalism in her blood, she sought to further the campaign’s efforts with a goal of getting employees to admit to continuing illegal activity.
With their own personal funds, the two-person team at Sound Investigations set their sights on MindGeek in Montreal and spent five months in the field interviewing subjects and gathering information. They released their first video in September 2023. Since then, they have released six more videos with incriminating evidence against Pornhub/Mindgeek/Aylo.
