It's already on there, Pornhub was based in Canada from the start. If anything we'll be getting more board-member-has-a-sex-scandal stuff. Possibly with slightly less french undertones.

There's Canadian government funded porn as well, and the Canadian government wants more Canadian porn under their new proposed CanCon rules.

I think it says both. But I’m not going to bother to check, let’s just all go with a common assumption.
EmbarrassedHelp t1_jcicb10 wrote
The groups like Exodus Cry who were going after them in those lawsuits were also really controversial, yet reporters often didn't verify the source. They trusted comments from sexist hate groups like 'National Center on Sexual Exploitation' purely because of the name.

Definitely a front. There has been some consolidation in porn sites and MindGeek owner has been all sorts of attacks. They even burned his house down. It was some organized crime stuff. This ECP is on the sketch list for sure. Sounds like Ethos Capital that tried to buy .ORG TLD as a private equity firm.

Sure sounds to me like they have goals other than money.
hello_hellno t1_jcj03uy wrote
Yep, the groups lobbing against it are right wing Christian groups that literally qualified cosmopolitan magazine as porn and tried to shut it down.
Yeah, porn sites have too much leeway that allows for people with bad intentions to easily get around their checks. But mind geek has been at the forefront of solving that issue by requiring ID from all uploaders,, deleting 10 million non verified videos and making sure their staff at all levels are close to equal male:female ratio.
Porn will always be around, get rid of the top company doing at least a decent job preventing exploitation and you're just giving the unethical fringe sites more customers.

back when Pornhub had the big wipe after the "underage" controversy, non-verified stuff got wiped, I assume a large part of that was erotic stuff, I know kinky stuff got deleted, a lot of the good amateur stuff too.

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.

I'd recommend AIO streamer

(I don't wanna link the website as it seems like I'm advertising, but if you google AIO streamer you only get sketchy rips of the apk.... so take "pornhub", remove "hub" and add "-app.com". I've never used the paid version and I never saw the need for it)

No mainstream US politicians fit the definition of socialist very well.
Even Bernie Sanders is just barely left of center in global terms, with the Democratic party slightly right of center. The USA's overton window is skewed very far to the right.

Excerpt from the linked content^1 by Joe Lofaro:
>MindGeek, the Montreal-based parent company of the controversial website Pornhub, has been acquired by a private equity firm.
>Ethical Capital Partners (ECP), an Ottawa-based firm, announced Thursday it is taking over the company, which has faced criticism in recent years for allegedly hosting illegal content, including child sexual abuse material, on the world's largest porn site.
>ECP's website describes itself as a firm that seeks "investment and advisory opportunities in industries that require principled ethical leadership."
>The terms of the deal are not being made public. MindGeek, which was founded in Montreal in 2004, has a vast portfolio that also includes other pornographic properties, such as YouPorn, Redtube, Brazzers, Men.com, and Sean Cody.
