An academic,[1] she has also been described as "The world's leading anti-pornography campaigner".[1]

In 2011, Dines was invited alongside fellow anti-pornography activist Shelley Lubben to debate against Anna Span at the University of Cambridge when it proposed the motion "This house believes that pornography does a good public service."[7][8] Dines did not sway the house, which decided 231 in favour to 187 against with 197 abstentions.[9][10] Dines said her opponents won because the chamber consisted mostly of "18-22 year old males who are using pornography on a regular basis."[11

Dines has also been criticized by some feminists of attempting to foment moral panic, particularly in opposition to sex work and sex workers' rights, rather than advancing an academically rigorous position.[16][17] Dines dismisses the claim, stating, "To suggest feminists who oppose the pornification of society are stirring up a moral panic is to confuse a politically progressive movement with rightwing attempts to police sexual behaviour."[18]
