Private Equity ruins whatever property they buy. They are going to put a lot more stuff behind paywalls I guarantee it.

This probably explains why the PornHub Android app no longer works. Yes, PorhHub had an official Android app you could sideload. You could watch it in VR or cast to Chromecast. The last update borked the app and told you to go to the website.

It's not uncommon for religious groups to try and shut down pr0n. No idea if that's what they are or not, but their name doesn't give me confidence.

It's private equity firm, not a religious group. The only thing they worship is money.

Sure sounds to me like they have goals other than money.

Yeah. They’re gonna go with the Saudi Arabia version of illegal content and shut it down.

That's just a boilerplate response you issue as a PE after you bought the biggest pornsite on the planet.

Fundamentalist Reich-Wing hypocrites would absolutely but Pornhub to shut it down.
