We don't block porn, but it hasn't been a problem yet. In the past, when people have posted artistic nudity, they've usually put "NSFW" in the title. We generally take the Classical Liberal (Libertarian) approach of not censoring anything, but allowing each user to block the tags and other users they want. So, if someone started posting porn, you could block them yourself. Generally. We reserve the right to censor. Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one, as it were. People also tend to add community tags as appropriate. So, if there started to be a porn community, it's likely everyone else would start community tagging with something like #nsfw, and you could block that tag. And Hubski is small enough, you could easily block every user in this hypothetical community, if a tag didn't arise. But no promises. That's what liberty means. ^_^
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.
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.
As a Libertarian I love this. I would done this in both Reddit or Voat but neither of them have such a powertful interface. I love how cerebal everyone seems to be here.
