That was an impressively long justification for a perfectly legal business.

I'm curious, though - why start a business in an industry where you've had to spend time writing essays 'reasoning through your fears', instead of just doing something you're not conflicted about, and can get fully behind without any reservations, qualifiers, or arguments?

I suspect they're not actually conflicted, but are reasoning through their prospective investors' fears by projecting it onto themselves.

We genuinely wanted to fix the UX problems associated with porn.
