NCOSE Activist Opens TikTok Account to Spread Anti-Sex Work Propaganda

WASHINGTON — Haley McNamara, an activist affiliated with powerful, religiously-inspired anti-porn lobby NCOSE (formerly Morality in Media), has started a TikTok account to spread propaganda targeting adult content and sex worker rights.

The TikTok account, “hi.haleymcnamara,” was highlighted on Friday by sex worker rights advocate Maya Morena, who forwarded a still from a short vertical video by McNamara making the sensational claim that “a study” of “people involved in the commercial sex trade on OnlyFans” found that “61% of them were pimp-controlled.”

New York City-based sex worker Aussie Rachel then posted the full video.

NCOSE appears to be targeting a younger demographic by barraging TikTok users with a blitz of short anti-porn propaganda videos, which employ the traditional War on Porn misinformation strategy of conflating adult entertainment with full-service sex work and then claim that all of it constitutes “human trafficking.”

McNamara’s Twitter biography describes her as the “Director” of an organization called “International Centre on Sexual Exploitation,” but also offers her actual credentials as a VP of the well-funded, politically influential NCOSE.

The so-called "International Centre on Sexual Exploitation" does not appear to have independent existence outside of being an NCOSE-funded and -run campaign to export religiously inspired, U.S.-based War on Porn notions worldwide.

McNamara also calls herself an "abolitionist" — terminology viewed by many as insensitive and which is often deployed by religiously inspired people seeking to deny sex worker rights and autonomy.
