If you want to use CouchDB to build your porn empire, all power to you -- but I think that expecting a link from our wiki is a little too much to ask. Of the top of my head, I can think of the following problematic areas: * Gambling * Pornography * Sites selling weapons or promoting violence * Untrusted sites for professional services, legal advice, online pharmacies, &c * Political or religious extremism, racial hatred, &c * Sites related to illegal activities, drug taking, copyright infringement, &c > Maybe the ASF has thought this issue over before.
