> Wernick elaborated after this story published, confirming that Parler has no system for detecting child pornography before it is viewed and potentially reported by users.
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.
- bmarquez 6y agoSo 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.
- istinetz 6y agoI 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.
