I like the way it was written but I was especially intrigued by what we, as a community of startups, allow ourselves to monetize. I remember reading that porn and sex trade is what drove 14% of craiglist traffic at one point and I'm not sure how Craig Newmark handled that. Child porn is another driver of image sites. This all a matter of ethics on so many different levels, racism included.
If our companies and engineering teams are sanctuaries for this kind of stuff, it really calls into question the how far we go at the sacrifice of society to make a dollar.
If we don't address these things as a community of startups and engineers then we could get bit in unforeseen ways.
I'm at least glad we've had a bit of discussion here on it.
