Ex-porn star's fans help remove X-rated videos:
She is one of the most searched for star's on Pornhub, but Mia Khalifa's 11 X-rated films could soon disappear for good.
The former porn star has tried and failed to have her videos removed from Pornhub and BangBros, describing her three-month stint in 2014 as a decision that will "haunt her for the rest of her life".
But now her fans have stepped in, creating a Change.org petition that has already seen nearly 2 million signatures demanding the adult sites remove the content.
"Mia and her team have provided countless financial offers to the current owners of her domain name and pornographic videos to no avail," the Justice for Mia petition read.
"Big corporations are not giving Mia Khalifa a fair chance to demand her content in court due to financial advantage.
"We are demanding her domain names be returned, her videos be removed and fairly discussed in court without putting Mia Khalifa into deep financial ruin. Mia has stated her regret for her decisions in the porn industry multiple times."
It comes after the 27-year-old begged girls to not go into the industry, slamming it as "toxic".

Yeah, some mixed feelings but not much.
I'd say before age 18 some things should be wiped off your record, but at 21 she has been an adult for three years. Puberty is long over, you should have some life experiences separate from your parents by now, and maybe even begin rationally realize that you will die some day.
Everyone does stupid or embarrassing things on a whim when they are teenagers, but she deliberately and willingly and intentionally decided to make a series of sexvids and used the porn-fame she acquired from them to amass a net worth of $3M over the past six years. Plus she is now married to a famous chef from Europe. She is rich and wont have to work 9-5 for the rest of her life.
Also, it's also not like she made only one video of generic suck-lick-screw sex for food money. Her videos are interracial, group, gang-bang, and multi-penetration, IIRC.
Plus she and her ex-husband posted pornographic pics on the internet a year even before she did the vids.
Plus she had breast implants done to make her boobs larger.
Plus she still is using her stage name.
And it's not like she did these movies because she was starving. Wont name names, but a before-he-was-famous actor did porn in the 1970s for food money. After he became famous he was asked about that film and his response was "When you haven't eaten for a few days and don't know when you will eat next, you will do anything for food."

All sound points, and 21 is the legal age of responsibility, but we are free to take into account the recent research that brain maturation continues through age 25 or so.

Maturation continues for your whole life.
Would I have made the same decisions as a 25 year old if I had the maturity of a 45 year old? No. Does this mean we treat people as children not responsible for their actions until they turn 45?
