RE: Steemit Pedophile Ring Exposed
There is no scope for a debate on this issue. Steemit is open to anyone over 13 years of age and having porn circulating, when a minor can easily access it, is blatantly wrong.
And stop getting stuck on a word , "peadophile ring" ... those images maybe of adult girls, but they are intentionally made to appear young, with the sole purpose of attracting those who like child porn. The question here is not, if this a peadofile ring. It should simply be, is the content that was uploaded acceptable? Is it ok for a 13 year old to stumble upon it?
Freedom of speech and expression, is great, as long as it doesn't offend someone else's sentiments. Make a private group of something, if you wish to trade sexually explicit content, but to protect minors on this platform, we need to put a stop on obscene, objectionable ,content.
There's going to be lots of porn on this platform. Hope it doesn't bother you too much.
There is always going to be lots of crime in the world, by your reasoning it shouldn't bother one too much. Everyone should just accept it as a flaw in humanity and do nothing about it. No?
All those who are actively trying to do something about spam on this platform, should stop. I mean it shouldn't bother one too much. Right?
I don't agree and praise those who at least try and do something about these issues.
Just because people will post porn, doesn't mean that it is ok and no one should do anything about it.
My reasoning was not included in the post. My reasoning is that the anti-porn view is a minority position with little power on the platform compared to the anti-censorship position.
Most movements start with a minority only, they just need to get traction. The words used in the title of the list, may not be perfect, but the basic idea behind it is sound and that's what one should focus on.
