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".

    All these comments that run with the premise, she "made a mistake", is it really a mistake, and if yes, why is it a mistake?

    It's only a mistake because a bunch of prudes say so! If it wasn't for the social opprobrium, and the massive hypocrisy particularly from social conservatives, there wouldn't be any issue. So some young woman shows off her naked body, online. Woohoo, but in the end, so what?

    As to what she may have endured to get paid for stripping down, that's another problem caused in no small part by the porn industry having to operate somewhat in the shadows. Porn production lives with useless harassment from law enforcement. Instead of law enforcement checking to make sure there's no sexual or other exploitation going on, making sure the porn stars get regular health checks, and are not being cheated of their pay, that sort of thing, they take a high handed moralistic approach in which the members of this business are all already prejudged and found guilty. Instead of helping to keep the business as clean as it can be,
    this approach by law enforcement makes things much worse for the most vulnerable, as now the girls can be blackmailed with threats of jail time and the like, and it's a lot harder for them to bring a criminal matter to the police, like if they are the victims of crime unrelated to their work. They might well be arrested rather than helped.

    It's not a mistake if she defines it as having been a mistake?
