.IO domain hosting question

Hello folks, and sorry to bother you:
In the wake of the tumblrpocalypse, a lot of people have been discussing Pillowfort.io as an alternative - but discussion discovered that .io domains may 'not be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose that is sexual or pornographic' per https://www.nic.io/rules.htm .  Pillowfort have since announced they'll need to change their hosting to account for this.
Given that there's a bunch of great adult content on itch.io might this cause problems in future?  It sounds like it might not have been noticed as a problem by anyone who might complain so far, but Pillowfort had been hosting adult content without an issue too, and were concerned that visibility might result in someone complaining.
There's a bunch of assholes out there attacking the income streams of anything they consider progressive, and they've been active for a while.  I figured it was worth mentioning just in case this could cause itch.io problems, and that getting in ahead of complaints might make life simpler for anybody?
Anyway, thanks for your time, and for the great site.  You're pretty much the only game store I use any more.
