Have you contacted your government representatives yet? I will be doing so. The federal government can probably stop this but we need to act now.

I didn't appreciate this article's tone. It seems to somehow suggest Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are evil for not having made the collective decision to launch porn startups. It takes me about five seconds to think of good reasons to not get involved in that business, that have nothing to do with being a bad person.

Should those really be considered "no touch" cultures? I would assume most couples, even within those cultures, touch each other frequently.

Why do you say your attitude is "bad"? Thinking about what you want long-term is far superior to being blown about by the winds of circumstance. I would guess that your issue is your tactics, not your strategy. If you think you're picky, you need to be going on more dates and meeting more people, not fewer. You aren't going to hurt these people if you communicate honestly and openly with them when you meet them.

It's like job interviewing. If you only do it (and more importantly only think about it) once a year, and only when you know it's a job you _really_ want to get, you're going to be really nervous and perform poorly.

Is there hard data about this somewhere?

Why wouldn't this be legal?

> we must all, 8+ hours a day, support our employers political agenda

Isn't this the whole point of work? Exchanging your own preferences and time for money?

> in the time remaining we can try to counteract that a bit

Ideally you wouldn't be working for a company who is diametrically opposed to your own beliefs. This is why I will never work for Facebook.
