Could you explain further?

General purpose computing directly implies that each user is free to do what they want with it, just like the MacBook Pro they bought from the same company.

The world would be a lot more awesome if people weren't entitled to feel "uneasy" about what people they will never meet are doing legally in the privacy of their own homes.

Removing any association with users as perverts. Google made that mistake with glass…

So, a moral panic some of us are okay with.

I don't agree, but I respect that this strategy is seemingly self-evident to a certain brain wiring.

PornHub says that red states often represent their heaviest users, demographically. Can you even imagine how different things would be if the rugged individualists defended freedom of thought as passionately as they defended weapons?

I think it’s not just the red states, imagine a viral message asking if you knew that the guy near you on the subway was watching porn on his new gadget.

In some countries some read comics porn or erotica in the subway. I can’t say wether or not it is frowned upon there though.

In other countries, souvenir shops sell genitalia-shaped pastries or bottle openers.
