Hi all,

I have read with great interest a post about inviting an influencer that seems to have been banned in many web 2 social networks.

There are two aspects to talk into consideration: the ethical and the economical. Both are interrelated.

From an ethical standpoint, there are topics that have already been banned: back in December I remember quite a fear boards that started with nudity and even porn. They were banned and rules were issued to regulate what content was absolutely not allowed. Since then I don't recall any further update of those policies. As bbs grows the issue will become more complex. What is ethically unacceptable for all, and what are opinions that are legitimate even if against the majority? Having a board of a certain political orientation is offensive to people that have a different one? It is a slippery topic.

I am moderately optimistic here. Bbs will be dependant on the advertisers. Many will not come if certain content is published here... unless the board structure helps to segment advertisers as well, and (to put a stupid example), a gun manufacturer may be willing to place advertising on a hunting board, while a pet food advertisers, or WWF may want to place advertising on a board for dog lovers...
