When I visited it, some time ago, it mostly seemed like a lot of angsty teens shitposting.

My thoroughly unscientific analysis of the situation seemed like it was about 98% bullshit posts and maybe 2% of the posts I found truly objectionable (mostly jew/black hate) but not illegal.

I'm not doubting that there is some illegal stuff there, nor that there is some truly vile content, but, I don't even think it's in the majority on a post-level basis.

> America has a damn hard time appreciating the aesthetics of the human body in a comfortable and unproblematic manner, and the pressure to keep PornHub hidden in the shadows reinforces the negative feedback loop of unhealthy perspectives of sex, and promotes some bad behavior—we can't culturally talk about sex comfortably and openly, when we're all made for it.

The pernicious thing about this is that the net result of all this may be that only people who go through stringent verification processes can post, meaning that the platforms will be even more dominated by large producers and the content will trend even closer to only having caricatures of the extremes with little representation of what people should really expect from sex once they try it in the real world.

> The Washington Post is not encouraging their readers to harass or doxx individuals or groups

Publishing libsoftiktok's information was definitely intended to harass them, and implicit support for doxxing.

No.

I agree and I'm very worried for it.

Notice as soon as you bring this up, they stop replying.

Those comments are really awful and wtf upvoted....

I don't think we should target, harass and doxx people, therefore I do not do those things. That doesn't mean that I think we should censor entire websites because they are sometimes used as platforms to do those kinds of things.

It's a cult.

While I agree with you I don't think it's particularly worse in k8/CNCF than in other parts of tech.

I 100% agree w/r/t the CP argument (I basically posted the same thing at the same time, lol) but the Nazi/Holocaust one I'm not as sure about honestly.

I think, in post-war Germany, that type of censorship had a role and was necessary. It probably does do more harm than good today.

You are correct and I believe that it therefore falls on government to effectively manage that situation.

Youtube is basically a monopoly and without trying to debate the ethics or correctness of how they got there, the message should be that they can choose to uphold certain principles like free speech or they can choose to be broken up.

Child pornography isn't censored inherently.

Child pornography isn't allowed because we believe that pornography requires consent of the involved parties and children are inherently incapable of consenting.
