mk has straight up said no porn in the past. Thankfully.

Yep. rob05c there was a brief time when we had a large influx and people were posting some grotesque porn. All images were changed to a cute baby goat leaping in the air. There are no shortage of sites for sharing porn, that's not why we started this place.

That said, it does pose a grey line of what is or is not porn. I suppose it's up to the community to decide whether or not we are just in the interpretation. The fact that we've not had to make such decisions often, says a lot about the kick ass community we have.

Is this scaleable? Nope. Should we have a larger community we will solely rely on the community to filter such things.

I'm not anti-porn, I'm just anti porn on Hubski. Same way I'm anti car parts advertising. There's a place for that too, just not on Hubski.

Technically it was a baby bison, but that's just splitting hairs, I guess.

How on earth did I miss that? Dang.

I stand corrected. Meh. Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one. I'm not a fan of censorship, but there's very little practical argument that censoring pornography on a single website inhibits free discourse and ideas.

It certainly makes our lives easier, not having to worry about the legal ramifications of illegal content.
