Twitter, eBay, Instagram make ‘Dirty Dozen List’ of businesses profiting off sexual exploitation

eBay

The popular online marketplace eBay made the list this year, with NCOSE contending that the site profits from “products that normalize and likely even contribute to child sexual abuse, image-based sexual abuse (nonconsensual filming and sharing of sexually explicit images), and the objectification and degradation of women and girls.”

“No brand should benefit from violence against women and children. Yet countless sex dolls — including ones that look like young girls — and cameras explicitly advertised for filming women naked and in sexual situations without their knowledge or consent are being sold on eBay,” stated NCOSE.

“Several of eBays’ industry peers have taken steps to rid their platforms of products that perpetuate dangerous norms. Amazon, Etsy, Wish, and Alibaba have taken measures to rid their marketplaces of childlike sex dolls and spy cams advertising. It’s past time for eBay to make the principled choice to stop profiting from exploitative products.”
