I mean - haven’t they heard of 4chan? The fucking cesspool of the internet? Almost no rules at all. Civilized people avoid it.

“When you say, ‘We don’t moderate content,’ you are inviting this content,” said Hany Farid, a University of California at Berkeley computer science professor who has helped develop image-detection technology used by social media sites. “My prediction is they will be overrun with this stuff.”

A site that’s meant to attract a bunch of poorly socialised young right-wing white men (including incels) is overrun with porn? Shocking!

Can we please stop using the term “alt-right” and refer to them using the original terminology “far-right”.

Paler is now a bastion of hate speech and ads for hardcore pornography websites.

Not a paler version of its former self, then. :wink:

I think “mainstream Republicans” is more useful.

I’ll take Mos Eisley anytime.

Wait, doesn’t Twitter allow pornographic content?

searches for sexually explicit terms surfaced extensive troves of graphic content

Shocking. What problem is this exposé highlighting, exactly?

Parler needs to look at this not as a failure, but as an opportunity. Come to parler to get your porn. And then maybe talk about something other than sexual fantasies? Pretty Please?

The market has plans for your utopian vision of the future.,

As everybody said their “no censor” policy on a national platform just means you’ll be filled with trolls and spam.

So finding out that they are overrun with trolls and spam is about the least surprising thing ever. We’ve known about this since at least the Usenet days, but really for all of civilization. I mean this problem is one of the fundamental reasons we invented the concept of a society.

I see this as one part the porno people undermining and subverting a rightwing hate site and another part exploiting an obvious weakness in a discussion board and running with it.

Bless those magnificent enterprising pornographic bastards!
