Pornhub has been mired in controversy amid multiple lawsuits alleging the site's owner allowed child sexual abuse material and other illegal content to be uploaded and profited from it. Friedman said he took a deep dive into the company's operations and safety protocols to counter illegal content and said he "just couldn't pass up the opportunity." "I can tell you this as a criminal lawyer myself, illegal content is not an adult entertainment problem. Protecting minors from sexual exploitation and preventing non-consensual sexual content from being shared on places like Pornhub, he acknowledged, is an "enormous challenge," but he said it begins with "public and transparent ownership." She told Noovo Info that she hopes the new owner takes steps to ban illegal content.
