Repeat of comment on another post:
Just some quick thoughts:
There is a difference between nudity and porn. Large grey area, but still.
If Steemit is for 13 years old and over, and you allow porn without further measures, you open yourself to prosecution in most countries in the world.
Who is going to check if the porn shown on Steemit involves people of legal age?
Many people don't want to see porn here, so it might be a good idea to be able to mute based on category.
or even if some moron makes you want to smash the screen when they weigh their crap in in a discussion?
haha.
Well, I was saying way back, that blocking users was needed. Now suddenly everyone wants blocking topics.
In panic #nsfw is now disappeared. I think it is a good move. But now everyone realise subjective blocking is needed for all of our sakes.
The schadenfreude I feel. Why did nobody realise open does not mean no user filters?
Idealism.
So it is forgivable. Now we can have a proper discussion about it.
Censorship is not the same as I don't want to see it.
