    Geek Girl Reviews Money Shot: The Pornhub Story

    Money Shot: The Pornhub Story is about, well, porn. But it's also not. It's about sexual exploitation, legal sex work, and the laws that have muddled everything up. With some thoughtful and knowledgeable from our community, we discuss this documentary in-depth, what FOSTA and SESTA mean for the sex work industry, and, above all, condemn the sexual exploitation on Pornhub and so many other pornography sites. Rest assured, we're going to dive into this topic, specifically sex work and ethical pornography, in a future episode.
