The internet remembers everything and prevents a former adult film star from erasing the mistakes of her youth (5 photos)

The adult entertainment industry lures young women with easy money and instant fame, but behind closed doors lies a harsh reality that often ruins lives.





Former American adult film star Lana Rhoades is now fighting a desperate battle with her past. After appearing on film sets at 19, she quickly gained millions of fans worldwide, but the downside of her success proved devastating. Lana admits that her work caused her deep depression, regular panic attacks, and severe psychological trauma, causing her to bitterly regret her choice on numerous occasions.



Motherhood was Lana's main motivation for permanently erasing her digital past. The former actress is currently raising a young son and fears more than anything else the day when the boy grows up, goes online, and sees over 400 explicit videos of his mother.



For the sake of her child's future, Rhodes has launched a massive campaign to remove content from the internet, attempting to reach out to major pornographic hosting sites and copyright holders. She wants her child to grow up in a normal environment, free from the ridicule of peers and the difficult legacy of her past career.



However, the reality is that committing "digital suicide" and completely clearing one's reputation in the 21st century is virtually impossible. Over the years of Lana's popularity, her videos have been copied, re-saved, and distributed across tens of thousands of pirated websites, forums, and private collections.



Removing videos from official platforms is just a drop in the ocean, as erasing terabytes of data from every server on the planet is neither technically nor legally possible. The real tears of Lana Rhodes's past are that the internet remembers everything, and this youthful mistake will stay with her forever.
