Solomon Friedman is on a mission to save Pornhub
Ottawa citizen ^

Posted on 01/24/2024 8:44:46 PM PST by MNDude

The high-profile criminal defence lawyer, firearms advocate and ordained rabbi plans to make the world's largest porn site a force for good.

Solomon Friedman is not someone readily defined: He’s a defence lawyer and an organ donor; a firearms advocate and an ordained rabbi; an investor, philanthropist, and pornography magnate.

Born into an Orthodox family in west-end Ottawa, Friedman grew up in a household with nine siblings. His father, Barry, was a Nortel contractor and software developer whose work sprawled through the house.

“I was raised in a house with more computers than kids,” Friedman says. “My first computer was a terminal attached to a Unix server.”

As a young man, Friedman travelled a conservative path. He moved to Israel at 18, studied Talmudic law for three years, and was ordained by the Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem. By that time, 2006, he was already married and the father of twins.

FWIW Rabbinical teachings in the Talmud declare that “pleasuring” one’s wife is an appropriate activity for the Sabbath.

,,, Sabbath porn program material sorted! It's OK if it's in Canada, eh?

…and what are the implications for “losing salvation”?

The implications are that one has persistently refused or turned away from the saving grace that God is freely giving through the one time sacrifice of the Lamb. As Paul wrote we have been saved, we are being saved and we hope to be saved through the grace of God.

XXX - is commonly identified with pornography.

X - is the 24th letter of the English alphabet. In numerology 24 reduces to 6 (2 + 4). So an esoteric, occulted meaning of XXX is 666.

If you believed in Jesus, but then stop believing in Jesus.

In a very short time I wonder how much real pornography will actually be on pornhub AI generated porn is the future, I read an article about Onlyfans saying a growing percentage of revenue from that site is AI generated

Most people who are child rapists start with porn. After a while it just doesn’t do it for them so they go younger and younger.
Porn is only evil in a pure form. Infants and children are paying the price of their bodies.
The US is a nation whose claim to fame is now child sex trafficking. Maybe we shouldn’t save it for the good of humanity.

I was trying to figure out what this guy was trying to save Pornhub from. Thais is the answer:

Friedman and his fellow investors from Ethical Capital Partners believe they can make Pornhub internet safe, sex worker-focused and transparent to the public. They’re convinced that responsible ownership combined with the company’s cutting-edge software can make Pornhub a force for good on the internet, and help to eliminate some of its most grievous ills, including revenge porn and child sexual abuse material.

I’d prefer to have internet porn be gone completely.

There should be a site called PlaneHub. Or AirPorn. I would smash the like buttons on that.

I think pornography sites should be limited, with their use of a .xxx ending, be legal demand, in their website URL, so that parents and others can use the tools of their Internet browser to prevent access to those sites.

The law should not prevent the sites but should demand their sure identification (such as a .xxx ending) as porn sites, so that self-censorship filters can block acess to them.

Indeed. If he were a regular guy of today instead of a King in ancient times, I suspect the same basic type of obsession behind him taking so many wives might have taken the form of being very involved with porn.
