@stellabelle - This is appalling news. It made me sick to hear about child porn and copyright violation issues. I think this excellent platform is getting abused by some bad eggs. While we all support freedom of thought, speech and creative content, I believe at least some curbs are needed to stop such blatant disrespect to the original concept of the platform.**
I support your actions and views entirely in this regard. I will keep an eye out for this sort of thing.
A thought though - due to my settings (mostly everyone's default settings I guess) a lot of bad content may get hidden from my view as NSFW content. Should I change that setting so I can detect bad egg posts?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
actually a lot of the cp posts were not labeled nsfw.....I was told that it existed.....
The really disturbing part is that many of the photos are of children, found on the internet, and they are not naked, but the user has found parts of their bodies sexually stimulating and pointed it out. It's so gross seeing the mind of a sick person on here. We just don't need to make those people welcome as they bring their disease and all their friends, and then children won't feel safe on here.
How sick can people get!! It really churns my stomach. Here I am, thinking and writing posts about Steemit as a wonderful tool for even girl child education and these sick people are using the very same platform to spread such bad things involving children. I have no words....
I know. I went through a lot of it, and felt really sick because of seeing into some sick person's head. The fact they are combing the internet in search of children is about enough to make me vomit....
i have also read about how these children are trafficked, drugged, etc. to create the images. The girl in one of those looks around 15. There is no way to know but she certainly doesn't look like an adult. It's really disturbing that people are commenting.
Steemit is a reflection of the world. I am almost surprised this didn't happen earlier.
Hmmm. I know. It is inevitable but it still hurts to see it happen. Let us try and curb as much as possible.
