The famous actor and host also tagged the group Fight the New Drug in his tweets. The organization says it is raising awareness of the harmful effects of pornography and exploitation.
Another anti-pornography group National Center on Sexual Exploitation praised Crews’ public statement in support of the movement to shut down the porn hub.
NCOSE Executive Director Don Hawkins said in a statement on Wednesday, “We need the courage to tell the public that there are big issues with the existence of the largest pornographic website.” As a result, he appreciated Terry Crews for using his influence to demand that the website be defunded.
Aside from being a porn site, PornHub does not require any legitimate form of age verification from users who upload content – ultimately increases the demand for sexually explicit content and puts lives at great risk.
In 2016, Crews posted a video on Facebook acknowledging his past addiction to pornography and saying that his marriage to Rebecca King ended as a result.
Terry Crews pornhub shutdown tweet came following an online petition, launched by Leila McLeot who called for the closure of the porn hub. The petition has received more than 1.5 million signatures.
