You think this is a justification to do this? On Hacker News? Really? I do not understand the mindset of some people

- bzb3 6y agoI didn't say it was a good reason, I'm saying that's probably the cause they got banned.
- annadane 6y agoThat's fair and I'm sorry. Still, we should demand better from these platforms, it's not enough
- Barrin92 6y agoIf it causes them more trouble than it's worth it's understandable. Someone else pointed out that there was a lot of questionable sexual content on the site and you can't really expect Facebook to micromanage every subdomain.
- wnoise 6y agoI don't see why Facebook needs to censor "questionable" sexual content. Individual users and groups have adequate tools to control what they themselves see. The only point of Facebook's censorship is to control what the willing can see.
- acdha 6y agoThere are two levels of questionable: what you mentioned works for things like less common proclivities but not for things like revenge porn or other cases where it’s not just a question of what a user is willing to see.
- Barrin92 6y agobecause asking the average user to fine tune their experience to avoid questionable sexual content is going to piss a ton of users off who expect this to be the default experience on the site. So Facebook does a calculation and the result is that removing that stuff is easier than having a million people complain about being exposed to it and that's that. The same reason any other forum or platform moderates their content and usually removes sexual content, you want the default experience to be good for the average user on the site.
- b_ocu 6y agoit's probably more about the spam instead of the sexual content
