r/shitredditsays and affiliated subreddits have a lot of goons posting in them so the movement is starting to show up there as well. A bunch of us (SRSers, not just goons, I'm not the latter) have been starting discussions about the best ways to shut down the subreddits where child porn is openly shared
i'm protected
:>
Hope that it's similar to this in coverage.

I don't like the way the Reddit admins handled the situation. It took too much effort to make them take action and when it did, they were extremely rash. It was obvious they did it to avoid trouble, rather than correct an ethical situation.
does 4Chan allow child pornography?
[QUOTE=thisispain;34671801]does 4Chan allow child pornography?[/QUOTE]
No. The threads are removed fairly swiftly, except during certain times at night. But it still does show up.

okay well i think an important rule should be that anything worse than 4Chan should be shut down and removed from the internet.
[QUOTE=thisispain;34671801]does 4Chan allow child pornography?[/QUOTE]
Nope. But boards like /b/ move so fast that there's not much point even removing it, it gets deleted automatically so fast.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;34671794]Why doesn't the owner of Reddit just shut that shit down and report everyone that posted in them?
Or do I have zero understanding of how Reddit works, can anyone even shut down subreddits?[/QUOTE]
because reddit is a ~free speech zone~ ron paul 2012
not joking either, the argument against going after pedophilia on reddit is that [b]IT'S CENSORSHIP AND THAT'S WORSE THAN CHILDREN SUFFERING[/b]
[release]At reddit we care deeply about not imposing ours or anyone elses’ opinions on how people use the reddit platform. We are adamant about not limiting the ability to use the reddit platform even when we do not ourselves agree with or condone a specific use. We have very few rules here on reddit; no spamming, no cheating, no personal info, nothing illegal, and no interfering the site's functions. [B]Today we are adding another rule: No suggestive or sexual content featuring minors.[/B]
In the past, we have always dealt with content that might be child pornography along strict legal lines. We follow legal guidelines and reporting procedures outlined by [1] [url=http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/PageServlet?PageId=1504]NCMEC[/url]. We have taken all reports of illegal content seriously, and when warranted we made reports directly to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who works directly with the FBI. When a situation is reported to us where a child might be abused or in danger, we make that report. Beyond these clear cut cases, there is a huge area of legally grey content, and our previous policy to deal with it on a case by case basis has become unsustainable. We have changed our policy because interpreting the vague and debated legal guidelines on a case by case basis has become a massive distraction and risks reddit being pulled in to legal quagmire.
As of today, we have banned all subreddits that focus on sexualization of children. Our goal is to be fair and consistent, so if you find a subreddit we may have missed, please message the admins. If you find specific content that meets this definition please message the moderators of the subreddit, and the admins.
We understand that this might make some of you worried about the slippery slope from banning one specific type of content to banning other types of content. We're concerned about that too, and do not make this policy change lightly or without careful deliberation. We will tirelessly defend the right to freely share information on reddit in any way we can, even if it is offensive or discusses something that may be illegal. However, child pornography is a toxic and unique case for Internet communities, and we're protecting reddit's ability to operate by removing this threat. We remain committed to protecting reddit as an open platform.

I like how the OP posted this thread [B]after[/B] Reddit closed all the "teen picture" subreddits.
The subreddits that were used for posting of "gray area" material were closed 2 hours ago.
Edit:
Bite me

Improper moderation and a scum userbase.
holy shit, what is reddit doing about this?

Why was that even allowed in the first place?

also as it seems /r/whalebait isn't gone. And no, whalebait is not a pornography subreddit. Sure, pencil drawn boobs here and there, but usually just pics of whales being whales
[QUOTE=Zeke129;34671874]Well that was fast

What really sickens me is that they don't say "child pornography is wrong", instead they say that we need to take it down so the site can go on.
i hope every pervert in those subreddits dies a fast violent death being mauled by a wolf.

How does that even work? Partially unzipped pants?
It looks like reddit did something about it a couple hours ago.

No but /b/ especially is so tremendous and fast-moving that threads can last for quite a while "b4 404".
