This is incredibly serious. I hope voat is alerting the FBI. And keeping there own proof of when and how often they alert the FBI to these postings.
I'm pretty Anti-Censorship but every forum I've ever been on at some point has to close down sections that are obviously CP related.
preteens. Kidskissingkids. loli. Jailbaitanon.
No... You just can't have that shit. In an odd way I applaud voat for trying. But the day will come when voat will have to step over the line and ban those subs. or voat will get shut down.
The content may indeed by legal by U.S. law. But the thing is those communities never stay on the up and up. And over time enough iinifractions happen and they gotta go.
Voat banning content that sexualizes minors is fine with me given the unique legal situation surrounding that sort of content banning it may well be necessary to ensure the continued existence of the site.
This is not true of any other content in the US at the moment.
Banning r/jailbait isn’t where Reddit went wrong. Breaking the promises made when they did so is:
I left when they were clearly censoring any post or user that mentioned the TPP ahead of an important vote. That wasn't a slippery slope, that was all the way down at the bottom of the valley.
they use a kind of suicide bomber strategy. They come in flood the boards, destroy the quality and integrity, and implicate it legally if possible. The board collapses and we are back to square one while they are waking to CP and laughing about it. - Very serious situation.
i’m leery of new members as well. Chances are they are flying under the radar until they get downvoat upvoat CCP high enough to cause chaos. Last month a fucking massive herd of new members started flooding the boards with both old and so-so posts. Indicated to me they were trying to build up stats quickly. Then all of the sudden there wee whispers of moderation and rules changing etc.

Thats around the time I came here (I think) There would be 5 or 6 posts about the TPP on the front page... then one day nothing.
