Anything illegal (i.e. things that are actually illegal, such as copyrighted material. Discussing illegal activities, such as drug use, is not illegal)
This is very good news.
But we're illegal in some places?
But discussing it is not illegal. Therefore we won't be banned.
Oh I missed that- I thought they were saying that you can't even discuss illegal things. That's good then
But there is a high probability that the porn subs will be banned. That makes me very happy.
Ah, no, there isn't. Bestiality porn is legal in California, where reddit is hosted.
right, but this isnt about whether its legal, theyre talking about cleaning up reddits image. Beast porn hardly makes reddit look like a safe space.edit: just read his reply and it seems theyre not interested in making reddit a safe space anymore...?
What's the big deal with porn? So much of it is amateur stuff; Just videos of girls having sex with their partners.
I don't understand why you'd be so joyful to see it banned.
That is where you are wrong. Most of the public porn is commercial and shows actresses with dogs that are at the very best disinterested. And a good number of amateur porn that has been shown to me isnt much better.
How can you ask the world for civil liberties when all you have to show for yourselves is porn that paints the exact picture normal society already thinks of you.
Dont you people get it, the porn is the reason you are hunted as bad as you are and it will only get worse. Commercial or amateur, it doesnt matter. It doesnt depict natural love making. You adjust to get the shots and push your parters beyond normal boundaries to get good shots. It clearly shows exploitation of your animal partners and for what??? Some kudos from the perversts of the Internet? Its fucking sickining.
Your animals may know your sexual advances and can communicate what they like and dont like in that regard but that CAN NOT understand the risk involved in documenting the activity on film aand putting it on tje fucking Internet. Animals have died because of the consequences of porn making. Can you get that through your heads??
Downvote me to oblivion but just because you don't want to hear it doesnt make it not true. Just like public opinion says your animals cant consent, I've seen it with my own eyes they can and do.
Amd im on your side but lets face it, you are tieing your own noose here.
Hm. I guess we've been looking at different sites.
That's at least somewhat comforting.
At absolute worst, we'll be put behind the indecency filter. Which is bleh, but better than being banned.
YAY!!!
Good job mods for deciding to keep this place porn free.
I was skeptical, but looking over the statement and Spez's response to the top comment, I have to say that this looks like great news for us. Which I'm happy about, because I was this close to making an account on voat.
It's easy for a politician to take a stand against the big-bad-public-enemy and gain support for it, whether it's a rational stand or not. I'm glad to see that reddit seems to care more about the principle than the knee-jerk reaction.
Good news! Does this mean bestiality porn subreddits will probably be removed?
Probably not. They're removing content that's illegal to host, which that isn't in the US.
The biggest issue about the "adult firewall" concept that I have is that the sub will no longer be indexed on google and the like. Not that I've every found a /r/zoophilia link in any of my automated searches which I've always found odd.
Hopefully they won't put us behind that, seeing as there isn't actually porn on this subreddit.
