When your users upload porn, you've made it

For any platform that supports user-generated content, moderation is a full-time job. But when you're hosting websites, it is ratcheted up a notch.

If your app. can host porn, and if it can host porn for free, there will be porn on your app. The interesting thing is this tend to only happen when your app is discoverable, so despite the moderation problem, it's actually a good sign imo.

Orbiter has its first porn site go live (and was promptly taken down by us) yesterday. So, that's a win in my book.
