To close the Hetzner discussion. The original post:
Quote:hetzner has very courteously kicked me off their servers citing contravention of their acceptable usage policy:
It has been brought to our attention that your website ‘thedotspot.net’ has connotations of being an adult-orientated site. Hetzner’s hosting policies specifically exclude adult-orientated sites. Below please find the extract from our Service Contract which applies to adult-orientated sites: Adult-Oriented Sites (version of 1 August 2007) Adult-oriented sites, designed for entertainment or commercial purposes, are not allowed on Hetzner servers. Forbidden sites include those that provide access to pornographic materials or nudity, whether for free or for payment, regardless of whether adult verification is used or not. For purposes hereof “pornographic materials” is assigned the meaning in the Films and Publications Act 65 of 1996 and “nudity” refers to a person’s intimate parts, but excludes nakedness in a natural and non sexual context, such as breastfeeding. Exceptions are made for educational sites.
what is nakedness in a ‘natural’ context exactly (apart from breastfeeding, which facebake says is ‘obscene’ anyway)?
what if it’s art?
