Original Note:
The legal owner of Pornhub is the private equity firm "Ethical Capital Partners", of which Solomon Friedman is a partner and investor -- one of many such partners and investors. It is thus misleading to call him the owner. He is also VP of compliance at the firm. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/pornhub-ottawa-firm-1.6783373 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/pornhub-new-owner-acquired-ethical-capital-partners-mindgeek-sold-rcna75519 https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethical_Capital_Partners
