I don't know what the motivation is, but I imagine it is for ratings. "Child Porn Website" headlines generate horror and shock... and interest to stick around until after the break.
That being said - they really raise an important question. Where do we draw the line? As a society? as a family? as Hubski? What is free speech? What is tasteful? What is inappropriate? I have my set of answers, and undoubtedly, they will radically conflict with others'. Reddit says they don't want to exercise editorial control for fear of infringing on free speech. This is murky yet interesting water. <joke>Maybe this is an elaborate plot by the admins here at hubski to submarine reddit</joke>
