Well done for calling this to the community's attention!
I don't really care whether we are all proud and invested in "no censorship;" certain things need to be called out and dealt with appropriately, simply as a matter of human decency. "Free speech" does not include violating human rights and especially the lives of children. End of story.
exactly. And after having this brought to my attention, it's so disturbing, no one who engages in that should feel welcome here. Plus it's illegal. We need to make it very clear that abuse, and profiting from abuse is not tolerated.
Well, that's really hard because only few people have power to shut them down. In my opinion voting system should be changed to such degree that finding a good post and flagging bad ones should be more rewarding than just voting for your own.

It's not really important whether it's illegal or not. What would you say if it will become legal one day, like the pervert Green Party in Germany wants it to be??
It's just disgusting and there shouldn't be a place for such creations, not on steemit and not on the entire world. I don't want censorship, but child pornography does not even need censorship. It's to obvious that's a really no-go that actually there are no further words needed!
Please use your power and help keeping steemit clean! Consider a ban or something for these disgusting persons and for those who voted and/or commented for his post.
Thank you
There remains no censorship, this stuff is still on the chain. Flagging the hard just removes their rewards (and hopefully therefore the incentive to do it), reduces the visibility of the post if the front end (e.g. steemit.com, busy.org, eSteem, chainBB, etc.) respects this, and when their rep gets sufficiently low it will reduce the visibility of all their posts, again if the front end respects this.
Really removing this stuff would require the collaboration of a large majority of witnesses and as far as I know it has not been done yet, with no plans to.
holy fuck, than this platform is screwed and dangerous for everybody to be active here and click on the profile of that dude
What?
completely agree. There is a big difference between censorship and destructive behaviour.
Children are not old enough to make their own choices. Exploiting them on Steemit is sickening. :-(
Distribution of child pornography is a felony. I don't believe free speech can be used as a defense for the commission of a felony.
I'm glad to see this behavior has been identified, now it has to be put to an end.
