No. They're part of News Corp.

Page 3 is not homophobic and describing it as porn is dubious.

Ah, yes, the "false hope" story. Which turned out to be a lie made up by the Guardian, though they didn't admit it until after dozens of people had lost their jobs.

Also untrue. There was such a website, but it was not operated by the Sun.

The very title of that Wikipedia article shows just how completely the Guardian and the odious Watson have won. You wouldn't realise that "hacking" (a misnomer anyway) was widespread across Fleet Street, let alone that NI was not the biggest offender (viz. Motorman). But it's the evil Murdoch so it's fine to scapegoat them.
