I'm not sure parent was referring to pornography, but to countless examples of sites like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit censoring information that they find inconvenient (e.g. the fappening, r/fatpeoplehate, etc.).
> Free speech is not "say whatever you want."
Parent clearly defines "free speech" as "they will not censor anything legal", which the websites above unfortunately don't follow.
> Child pornography is not free speech.
Ironically, in many jurisdictions "child pornography" includes virtual child pornography and cartoons, which any sensible person would say should be free (we can see movies depicting children getting murdered, people getting decapitated and women getting raped, but not of 17 year olds having sex?!?)
- RaleyField 11y ago> Reddit censoring information that they find inconvenient (e.g. the fappening, r/fatpeoplehate, etc.) Calling it information is being generous. As a private entity they simply don't have to suffer that speech. Fappening is probably illegal, and even if it were not it would be an acceptable courtesy call to remove it. Fatpeoplehate was about moderators harassing employees of imgur.
