Hilton Removing All In-Room Porn From Its Hotels

Travelers who count ordering X-rated features in their hotel rooms as part of their vacation stay can count Hilton Hotels & Resorts out, as the chain has announced it will remove all on-demand pornographic videos from its properties, worldwide.

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation, which announced the change, had previously listed the Hilton on its “Dirty Dozen” list, which it deems the “12 leading contributors of sexual exploitation.”

NCOSE announced that it is grateful to Hilton for its “decision to no longer seek profits from hardcore pornography.”

Hilton owns the Hampton Inn in Natick.

“We want to publicly thank Hilton for its decision to create a safe and positive environment for all of its customers,” said Dawn Hawkins, executive director of The National Center on Sexual Exploitation, in a statement. “Hilton has taken a stand against sexual exploitation. Pornography not only contributes to the demand for sex trafficking, which is a serious concern in hotels, but it also contributes to child exploitation, sexual violence, and lifelong porn addictions. The National Center on Sexual Exploitation applauds Hilton Hotels for recognizing these harms, and is glad to announce that Hilton Hotels will be removed from the Dirty Dozen List.”

Here’s what’s on The National Center on Sexual Exploitation’s “Dirty Dozen” list now: American Apparel, American Library Association, Backpage.com, CKE Restaurants, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Department of Justice, Facebook, Fifty Shades of Grey, Sex Week, Verizon and YouTube.
