A major investigation into the workings of porn sites and the people behind them.
More than half of 12-13 year-old boys and a third of girls the same age visit porn sites every month. With just a few clicks, they can access them via cell phones or computers. One of the most popular is Pornhub. These porn platforms rack up over 5 billion visits a month and are among the top 20 most-visited websites in the world. But a lot of the amateur content featured on these sites have been put online without the consent of the people featured.
