There are plenty of adult/explicit sites on the web. That is not necessarily the environment you want to find in SL. Just like racier magazines are usually behind the counter in stores, this is the same approach Linden appears to be taking. Basically, if you want that stuff, you know where to find it. If you do not, you should not have to see it. Overall, Linden has made a good move. There are plenty of adult/explicit sites on the web.

The pattern of adoption by businesses (this is an entrepreneurship blog right?) and educational organizations was stalling because of the fear that potential patrons might come across adult content as they meant to visit more legitimate content. Is it puritanic to fear 'adult content' - maybe, and it's not for me to judge what is / is not adult content, but if SL is to recognize it's potential, this is the kind of model that I think we're going to need. Linden knew it would create some hardship, but to not make the move meant much great hardship to the balance of the population by not moving to attract new users to the environment.
