> Well 'Violet Blue' is my girlfriend,

I guess that may have been a little predictable from TFA, but I'm regularly surprised by the folks who crop up at HN. I've been reading both your and VB's work for years, it is a funny coincidence to discover there is an relationship between you.

Well, your girlfriend is obviously an adult! Case closed! ;-)

More seriously, she does seem to be rather, er, focused on the topic of sex... Which is great, but I can see why they would object, if sex-related things are banned in Lybia.

(lol, yes she is an adult!)

to your main point: Well that's kind the issue isn't it? Yes Violet is 'focused on the topic of sex' she's a leading author in the field (30+ books on Amazon), appears on Oprah show about the topic, lectures at universities, etc.

But if you are right, isn't that too far if a domain authority removes someone's domain because the line of work and academic research they are in? Like I said, the site itself was hardly adult, even if Violet's own life, work and research is against their laws (somehow, perhaps).

>even if Violet's own life, work and research is against their laws (somehow, perhaps).

Under crazy interpretations of Sharia law, Violet probably would have been stoned by now.

It would definitely be too far in the UK or the US. Apparently it's not in Libya.

A screenshot I saw of the main vb.ly page had a picture with enough flesh that it itself was probably illegal under Libya law.
