This week, I met a woman that had been sex trafficked using Instagram and they consider us to be scumbags.
Anyone who’s met me in person will often remark that I’m very nostalgic about how things used to be. However, it’s not nostalgia that I’m feeling, I’m actually suffering from anemoia, which is a very deep longing for a time period that I’ve never known. For me, that’s pretty much everything in the porn industry that’s 1980s, while in my private life I long for the 1700s.
As a pornographer and due to my business model, I come into personal contact with a wide assortment of very different people. I’ve produced videos and shows for the extremely rich and powerful but also fulfilled the fantasies for the working class that saved up their nickles. My rules have always been that every potential project needs to have its “reward to risk” ratio honesty assessed. When take on a job, I mind my own business, and let my contract employers attend to theirs. which means that I don’t ask any unnecessary or uncomfortable questions beyond what is needed to make the initial agreement.
Working in the sex industry and having a mercenary’s mentality is a potential recipe for a lot of trouble. It can get hookers killed and pornographers set up to take a fall. The secret is always be careful of who you develop feelings for and never let yourself get greedy. There have been more than a few times where I’ve had to say, “I don’t know… I don’t want to know… And sorry, but I can’t help you.”
When a Muslim woman from Indonesia walked in my doors looking for work I became inquisitive.
She wore both a hijab and an abaya and because I’m also a Muslim, I’m very aware of how non-Occidental Islamic women view the sex industry and their role in society. Although I readily admit that I’m a strong believer in God and the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh), I’m also quick to say that I’m a bad example of piousness. As a career pornographer the fact that she was quick to take off her clothes and show us how much she enjoyed fisting her own butt should have only aroused me. However, because of years of accumulated knowledge and worldly experience, I’ve developed a certain kind of instinct and I started to pursue the issue, questioning this potential porn slut.
She was sold into sex slavery using both using Instagram and apps available on Google and Apple.
Marcia, not her real name, was 14 when she was first trafficked from Indonesia using Instagram. She was looking for a better life and believed that she was going to be a house maid. Unfortunately when she arrived, her host family took her passport and phone and within a week she was forced to be the housewife’s underage lesbian lover. From there the situation only escalated and she was being molested by both the husband and wife. When they got bored of her, they took a few pictures and put her up for sale using the various Google/Apple approved apps, each time making a profit.
She was trafficked twice more and on the final occasion her and another girl were actually auctioned to the highest bidder. The last time the apps were used to advertise the auction where her and the other female stood naked in front of “large group” of people. From what I was told, they were both taken for test drives by both men and women at this event. Marcia finally regained her freedom when she found her old passport and she sneaked out of the house while her owners were shopping.
Big Tech and the large Internet platforms have a history of corrupt and criminal behavior. In my eyes, the difference between them and a 1970s Mafia boss is the massive scale of their crimes, they destroy lives by proxy and they always seem to get away with it. Perhaps those social media corporate executives call it creative destruction but in my books they’re just pure evil. They know this shit is going on and they won’t lift a finger to stop it.
The tech oligarchs have no reservations lying to us or destroying the lives of innocent people. They’ve purchased hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of politicians to ensure that governments remain blind or inept to their pursuits. What they’re doing isn’t capitalism, it’s what existed prior to capitalism where those with power believed themselves to be a superior species and everyone beneath them are no better than livestock. Cattle to be milked or slaughtered as they see fit.
When it comes to Marcia, she had her sexuality forced upon her. She learned what turns people on, how to please both male and female sexual desires, and how to disassociate herself from physical discomfort. Marcia is someone who drops modesty at the door, in a heap like her abaya, to be put back on again before she faces the world. In many ways she is perfect for the porn industry, someone groomed and training to fulfill a specific task; much like many others I have encountered with their own personal stories of sexual interference and exploitation. So maybe Marcia isn’t as unique as she at first seems. Hopefully though she is self exploiting the one commodity she as learned to count on and not still at the whims of some “owner”…I probably shouldn’t care, but I do….I guess that’s why I don’t consider myself one of the scumbags.
