Reply to comment by MagnarOfWinterfell in Pornhub owner MindGeek sold to Ottawa private equity firm by marketrent

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.
