The problem they have is that the porn content drives away advertisers and non-porn related contant. So they have to steer away from porn, but wherever they draw the line there are going to be people testing the line, and there&amp;#x27;s an audience for it. So the compromise they&amp;#x27;ve clearly come up with is they don&amp;#x27;t allow porn, but if you happen to be sexy wearing practically nothing, that&amp;#x27;s fine - as long as it&amp;#x27;s got some pretext of not being porn, because porn is what will kill their non-porn related business.</text></comment>
