- athms 6y agoThe Constitution would need to amended.
- function_seven 6y agoThat's exactly what makes it a great example. If we accept the premise that /r/jailbait was not illegal (but "merely" reprehensible), then under this new law, Reddit would have been breaking the law when they decided to ban the subreddit.
- numpad0 6y agoA great example maybe to demonstrate inability of current criminal code and judicial systems, but not a good example to convince someone that privatized censorship is akchally a good thing.
- me_me_me 6y agoIts because real life is not black and white. Its shades of gray mostly. And while its ease to spot and codify extreme cases on both sides, its impossible for a law to clearly codify a clear line where good turns to bad. The 'original' argument for this type of conversation is: what makes a nude picture an art piece, what makes it porn. If we were given 100 photos we would probably agree in most cases whats art and whats porn, but try to write rules for distinguishing them.
