Sexual Exploitation Dirty Dozen List 2026

In this powerful episode of The Carrie Abbott Show, host Carrie Abbott welcomes Haley McNamara, Executive Director and Chief Strategy Officer of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, to discuss the 2026 Dirty Dozen List—a yearly spotlight on mainstream companies enabling sexual exploitation. The list highlights 12 major corporations, including Amazon, Google (Android and Chromebook), Apple (App Store), Discord, Grok, Snapchat, TikTok, and Telegram, for policies and platforms that facilitate child sexual abuse, grooming, sextortion, and the sale of childlike sex dolls. McNamara emphasizes that these companies profit from or turn a blind eye to exploitation, often due to outdated liability protections like Section 230. Rather than advocating for boycotts, the focus is on actionable public pressure—emailing companies, demanding policy changes, and leveraging consumer influence. The episode underscores the urgent need for corporate accountability, stronger default safety settings, and legislative reform to protect children in the digital age. The conversation is both alarming and empowering, calling listeners to engage with moral courage and practical action.
