There has been an increasing number of content that is bordering or crossing the lines concerning making "threats." So much so that we have been formally contacted regarding some content. We are better than this.
I'm not a lawyer, and you're not a lawyer, and it isn't Voat's place to defend illegal content. We don't have a staff to review content and don't have a team of lawyers dedicated to deciding what is and isn't lawful. I'm not also into endlessly debating what is and isn't legal as subjects like this often devolve into when everyone at the party is an "internet expert."
We have to deal with this issue and if content is in the grey area, we are going to remove it upon request. We also have to cooperate with law enforcement, I hope everyone fully understands that we are not attempting to operate outside of the law. Voat's purpose is to provide a collusion and censorship free place for discussion, not taking on a government.
It's easy to avoid this entire area: Word content maturely, avoid implicit and explicit language concerning the involvement of violence and the content won't be in question. Simple, so very simple.
After this post there will most likely be "users" testing this line and hoping we remove their content in order to claim censorship on Voat. This is just how things like this work. Don't fall for this Voat. It would be simply incredible if we just worked together on this instead of the typical shit storm posts like this usually generate.
As a reminder: Voat is for your personal, lawful use. See it here: https://voat.co/help/useragreement
That's all. Thanks for reading. Carry on.
Edit:
ProTip: I decided to post this before anything legal would prevent me from doing so. I have a feeling I know where this is going to lead.
I've also updated the canary to reflect this as well (this may be the last time that little guy gets an update, we will just have to wait and see).

Yes.

Are they the "investor" also?
PuttItOut ago
No. Why does everyone think they are pulling the strings behind the scenes? You guys think I've sold out and that is so far from the truth it makes me laugh.

You gotta remember dude, when r*ddit got pozzed, it didn't happen all at once in one big fell swoop. I happened over a period of several years, in small, incremental steps. Steps like this one. So people who spent those years over there going to point out the similarity.
Personally I don't believe you sold out or got zogged or whatever, but it's easy to understand the people who do.

Incremental steps, and now they mainly take excremental steps.

Indeed. The real shitty part of it is, the ostensibly conservative holdout areas are neutered beyond what should even be possible. Remember when t_d got scammed for six figures by some random nigger chick in a MAGA hat? Or the pudgy dope with his obese nigger wife posing with their newborn gape mouthed, cross eyed goblina baby?
Try saying the word "jew" there, in any context.
Not "gas the jews"
Not "fuck the jews"
Not "I don't like the ways in which jews are changing the country"
Just the word "jew" as a communicative. See what happens. What saddens me about rebbit isn't that it's basically the worst that liberal thinking and jewish subversion have to offer, it's the whimpering, mewling, submissive Quasi Modo that remaining conservatives have allowed themselves to become. The only real redpilled shit you're gonna find is in the gaming and cringe subs.

Speaking of T_D and Jews. I got a 3 day ban yesterday for the exact comment:
"Thank fuck some non boomers on the Donald can realize all these "coincidences". No one gets kicked out of a dozen rentals for no reason, now imagine 100 countries"
This was in regard to a jewess journalist(suprise!) parading as a white and me being pleasantly surprised in the comment threads for once that some of those fuckers in T_D were noticing her (((heritage))). They said I broke rule 3 "No racism or antisemitism" I didn't even mention the bitches race.
So I messaged the mods something along the lines of "Why is this lady white when she's 'self' hating but jewish when she's a vicitm? How in the fuck did I break your rules?" Gotta be atleast one uncucked mod there because I got unbanned and no response to my message.

Protip: lay low for a while or post under another name so that account isn't seen by the mod who tried banning you.

Yeh, that's the plan. Why does everything have to be controlled opposition....sigh
