- Rabbi Solomon Friedman, co-founder of Ethical Capital Partners, is Pornhub's chief compliance officer, aiming to improve ethics.
- Judaism is sex-positive, with texts focusing on regulation and pleasure, unlike the shock some feel about a rabbi's involvement.
- Friedman, ordained but not a practicing rabbi, was a criminal defense lawyer, which aligns with Pornhub's need for legal oversight.
- Pornhub's issue is not porn itself but poor moderation, leading to nonconsensual content and child abuse; Friedman works on tech solutions like digital fingerprinting.
- Antisemitic conspiracy theories target Friedman, claiming a Jewish plot to control through porn, but his role may be suited to making porn more ethical.
