RE: Porn on Steemit - How I Am Approaching It

in #porn8 years ago

I could not disagree more. Eventually viewing NSFW material will be opt in or opt out. That it's not already is simply a function of the fact that developers have had higher priorities. Seeing porno thumbnails is simply a function of this present limitation that will be resolved in due time, hopefully shortly. Flagging sexy images that are properly tagged NSFW due to a present limitation of Steemit itself seems very unwise and counterproductive to me.

I appreciate you reaching out on this one. I was unaware of NSFW tagging as @tombstone pointed out. I just was imagining a young kid making their first post surrounded by porn posts under new and wondered about legal risks and whether that activity would benefit the site. I just don't want to see Steemit run into legal troubles before we even get going. Now that I'm aware of the NSFW tag and how that removes that content from all feeds, I think flagging NSFW content that isnt properly tagged is the best course of action. I edited my post to reflect that. If this position is still wrong in your view please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks. I appreciate you weighing my argument and, in this case, buying it.

I'm very anxious for the devs to release the NSFW filter. Not sure what's taking so long since this seems like an easy thing to do. But I'm not a coder so I'm sure it's more difficult than it seems.
