Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
I've been skeptical of her work. She makes a lot of valid points about PH's shortcomings and things they need to fix, but she was also a prominent voice in spreading misinformation about at least one actress that I'm aware of, going hard into very serious accusations all based on a single tweet from some random person, causing pretty significant damage to the actress's career as now many platforms are afraid to host her content. To the best of my knowledge, she's never recanted the claims, although just about every media outlet that reported on that story has deleted their articles on it.
She seems to put about as much work into fact-checking herself as PH puts into protecting their users. And when you're dealing with a subject as intense as producing CSAM, you really shouldn't be loosey-goosey with your vetting process. I feel like she's doing this more to get eyes on her book deal than to actually help people.
Which actress?
Ellesclub. Mickelwait had spread this claim across a few of her Twitter accounts that Ellesclub was a trafficking victim and was underage in the videos on PH at the time. Most of the proof she refers to doesn't actually exist, though.
The most concrete proof she's put out was Elles' stated age on her social/content profiles. Because apparently Mickelwait can't think of any reason why a pornstar's bio would say she's been 18 for ten years straight.
Probably trying to avoid alcohol and renting cars. Definitely nothing to do with anything that rhymes with Square Lee: Bee Pal
Totally thought you meant non porn when you said actress. I could definitely see how that would mess up someone's career when they are in porn.
