You have to wonder how long that's going to last, though, as Reddit is in the same situation of quietly tolerating pornographic content while not explicitly promoting it.
The worst possible outcome for Reddit is that this move shines light on how many porn communities exist on reddit, which causes media scrutiny, which causes advertisers to bail or threaten to bail, which causes Reddit to ban NSFW subreddits, which spells the end of Reddit.
- jabroni_salad 4y agomore like it will be mastercard that bails. I wonder how many redditors that upload thtemselves have a form 2257 on file.
- aaronmdjones 4y agoI wouldn't imagine 18 USC 2257 applies to people posting themselves to Reddit. Among other things, subsection a(2) requires that the content be mailed or shipped in interstate or foreign commerce, or intended to be. In other words, the law targets commercial pornography.
- rchaud 4y agoReddit tolerates porn because the customer base for their ads product are overwhelmingly no-name companies that aren't in a position to dictate content standards.
- midoridensha 4y ago>which spells the end of Reddit. This would probably be a good thing for the world, except for the loss of the NSFW subreddits. All the "normal" subreddits are cesspools.

- mrexroad 4y agoHaha, I recently discovered this sub after a decade+ of being off reddit. Good god.
- achenet 4y agonah, there are some good ones. The mechanical keyboard and ergomechkeyboards ones are fun to browse, bodyweightfitness is generally good, and I've started exploring the music production one recently, it looks nice.
