PH got in trouble due to a NYT hit piece and is usual this is usually more of a corporate maneuver than an actual article done in the name of the public interest. See Pewdiepie who got one just about when he got a deal with Disney; surely pure coincidence.

The fact is, MindGeek, who operates PH and the others, is the reason all the corporate porn studios stopped making profits. When was the last time you saw a full length > 90 minutes porn movie produced after ~2010? This used to be a huge industry just as big than Hollywood.

A few days later low and behold the first thing MindGeek does is to stop people from downloading videos and only accept payments for studio made videos.

"Think of the children" is a meme at this point and should raise eyebrows whenever it is raised up as an argument.
