> child porn > Because that's what you'll find on Parler. No article I've read substantiates the presence of child pornography. Source?

However I absolutely admit your point: rather than affirmative statement of the presence of CP on the site, the issue is they've not built systems for finding and removing it.

  So I use Parler occasionally, and one of the first things I noticed when I signed up is that they banned ALL pornography. They eventually loosened up their restrictions but I haven't run into any of it -- people generally sign up to talk about politics. They have a manual human moderation pool for removing illegal content. But they are very slow, it took over 12 hours for them to remove a spambot. Article about the porn stuff: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/dec/7/parler-rebuts-the-washington-posts-characterizatio/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/dec/7/parler-rebut... I keep wading into these threads defending Parler because they are nothing like 4chan, 8kun, or Gab. They do have moderation, they do remove illegal content, they just suck at it.

  I am willing to bet that hackernews also does not have an automated system for detecting child porn. And I am certain it didn't when it was still a very new platform. What's your point? By equivalence, you should be calling for hackernews to be shut down, right? By equivalence, you shouldn't be posting here.

  The discover page shows pre-approved "verified" users (examples include Sean Hannity, Maria Bartiomo, Dinesh D'Souza, Megyn Kelley, Devin Nunes, RSS feeds like Zero Hedge and Epoch Times, and actual politicians). If your husband's friend really did see illegal material just scrolling the discover page, there will be mainstream media confirmation of an arrest soon.
