Actually, this doesn't have anything to do with the law about obscenity. Google can't sell ads to advertisers on sites where there's porn, so they push that requirement onto websites that use AdSense. There are companies who do sell ads on porn sites, but they're generally for other porn sites. So its an advertiser issue, though Google has final say, so to speak, due to its monopoly power. But can Google be faulted for its infamously bad customer service? Yep.
I really do think that we should cool the discussion about forking the site for a bit. I notice that Bob's not posting, and other people are a bit wary. In my experience, this probably means that I failed a wisdom check somewhere. But if someone wants to set up an IRC channel somewhere where we could talk through technical issues of backing up the site, that would be great.
