Is this another startup where most of the growth comes from people sharing porn?

did you browse the site? i didn't see any NSFW pictures there.
Better add some quick so it's monetizable ;)
What exactly is wrong with people sharing porn?
If they get kids sexting over it then they could be held for having indecent images of a minor and for distribution of same.
Wouldn't the normal laws governing user-uploaded content protect them, though? As long as they were at least somewhat responsive deleting offending content when it was reported, of course.
They can argue they're a common carrier, sure, but I don't think that's going to fend off the police from seizing their servers and it might not get them through court either.
