CP gets knocked off the board fast. 4chan and 8chan know the line, though it is in a weird place (it probably should be on the other side of "fomenting white supremacy")
- ethbro 7y ago*Formenting \w+ supremacy
- colanderman 7y agoGP is correct: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/foment https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/foment
- PhasmaFelis 7y agoI think "\w+" is regex for "one or more non-specified words," so they're nitpicking that it should be "* supremacy" instead of "white supremacy", in a weirdly obtuse and technical way.
- ethbro 7y agoAside from the misspelling, it was because I didn't want to look up how to escape italics.
- Godel_unicode 7y agoYou are correcting someone who used the word correctly. You have also misspelled "fomenting". https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/foment https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/foment
- eridius 7y agoDo posters get banned? If it's not accepted on the board then why does it keep getting posted, and posted sufficiently often that many people are claiming 8chan has CP?
- drusepth 7y ago"Accounts" aren't banned (because there aren't accounts required to post), but IP bans are very common.
- Anon1096 7y agoPeople are claiming that 8ch has CP in order to discredit it. The claims aren't true and the site has been removing such content for a long time now.
- DuskStar 7y agoOr at least they're no more true than claiming Imgur and the like have CP. (Dropbox and Google Drive almost certainly do, thanks to encryption)
- bossybeagle 7y agoThe 8ch.net/delicious/ board routinely had extremely realistic animated images and video of prepubescent girls having sex with older men. The images were reported to mods who left them up.
- DuskStar 7y agoThat's the sort of thing that starts to hit some really grey areas, and also starts to illuminate some of the differences in the justifications for banning CP. If you're against CP because it means the exploitation of children, animated images of children that do not exist should be fine - but if you're against it due to it being disgusting or normalizing the abuse of real children it's not. However, I believe that the Supreme Court has thus far held that drawings fall under the 1st Amendment, as (IMO) they most certainly should.
- lonelappde 7y agoThere is an important shade of grey between "clearly artificial image" and "real image", where "artificial but real-looking image" sits. It has the same normalizing effect as a real image. Otherwise there's no reason to oppose real images, since the harm is done before the image is ever seen.
- mieseratte 7y ago> 4chan and 8chan know the line, though it is in a weird place "Things we legally cannot host" is exactly where one would expect them to draw the line. Whether or not you agree with that position is another matter.
- pault 7y agoThe mods remove those posts as quickly as they can. It's impossible to prevent it when you're hosting a board that allows anonymous image uploads. No pre-approval process could keep up with the amount of content posted on a popular board, especially when the site is being run on donations.
- komali2 7y agoSure, but I would be worried about taking blame if 9/10 white supremacist terrorists turned out to be active on my forum.
