Good job, drive it all underground where it's difficult to monitor people! At no stage do I claim anything like jailbait thread viwer = child rapist but it is probably advisable to keep an eye on some of the more abhorrent posters in these kind of subreddits.
And yes, there is a bit of a different between finding teens hot and child porn. Not to mention the issue of whether the girls in question consented to have their pictures used in such a manner.

Anybody find anything else, my opinion would definitely change if they harbored actual child pornography. There is almost no real child pornography in the "normal" Internet, it only exists in cryptographic pseudonymous networks. The reason is pretty obvious - in almost every country in the world sharing such content is illegal and only really stupid people would risk doing it without proper "disguise", and stupid people rarely possess any sort of such content. Closest thing available outside of darknets/i2p/TOR/etc are pictures and videos of non-nude underage people (most of them posted by themselves on the social networks) and webcam porn with 16/17 y.o. girls (because it's often impossible to distinguish them from 18+ ones without actually checking their IDs). Ahh ok that makes more sense, then why is reddit involved? I mean if it's not on the "normal" internet, where reddit resides then how could this be there and no one see it? Maybe I just don't understand subreddits well enough.
I think about 99% of such reports about childporn are simply bullshit - it either doesn't contain underage people or isn't pornographic. Remaining 1% indeed report illegal material but it is removed as soon as moderators/admins of the site see it posted.
p.s. the numbers are made up, but I think they are not far away from reality

You make it sound so easy, though. Reddit already does remove illegal material; what's left is all questionably legal. Where do they draw the line on what to remove and what to leave, and how much effort are they supposed to expend doing so? If you think there should be no "morally corrupt" material on the Internet, we may as well shut the whole thing down right now.

To be honest people need to fuck off about the teens in bras on reddit, it's a community that is formed of mainly under 18 people with the rest being around 18 to 22/4. Quite frankly i see nothing "morally" wrong with an 15 years old being turned on by someone who is 17, nor of a 20 years old that does the same thing.
The whole point of reddit is not to look at it as a "community", since its not a fucking community, is a bunch of communities and reddit is just a host site for them.
If you were to look at the top reddits ( aka politics, ama, "gaming", funny... etc) there are a whole bunch of other way fucking worse thing than suggestive teen photos.
And if you are gonna talk about legality ? They are in there damn rights to post those photo there as far as pornography goes since they are not fucking pornography.

There wont be any CP private subreddits on reddit. Like it has been said before, CP mostly is shared on stuff like TOR,darknet, ... where connections are secure and the feds can't get your IP. You'd be an idiot sharing CP on site a like reddit.

Why the fuck did you post spam from SRS onto TL? They're a troll subreddit that is filled with hate and bigotry and the mods there will ban you immediately for going against the circlejerk (see their sidebar).

Hey OP, why are you on the Internet? It disgusts me every time people use the internet when I know what kind of awful things exist there. I'm appalled about what those millions of users do on there.

CP idiocy is not even really a question, for example a My Little Pony artist was livestreaming his drawing session awhile ago apparently and kept his stream open long enough for his viewers to get a good look at his child porn collection. Then I believe killed himself.
My problem with Reddit is more of the degree that they allow images of younger kids who have no idea about where their picture has ended up to be posted in forums dedicated to the sexual pleasure of those who have access to it. CP or jailbait, still feels very weird to be on a site that has that duality to it.

Because the entire purpose of SRS is to post the hate and bigotry that fills up Reddit? You do understand that the material posted there is from the rest of the site right? Be angry at Reddit as a whole or at the individuals posting the content that's shown in SRS, not the people making it known what idiocy is perpetrated there.

Its just the most fucking horrible idea to give those things more traffic.
Please edit. Seroisly.
PS:
forgive my language but really, I just had to be PERFECTLY CLEAR
Relax, only pedos and shitheads like that are going to visit that, and those people are going to fuck over (no pun intended) other people regardless of what they see on the internet.
As for the topic at hand, it is fucking retarded that Reddit is willing to tolerate this, for countless reasons I am sure I do not need to list for the sake of the people present. It is one of the main reasons I do not visit the site. You can be an idiotic idealist if it pleases you, but when you tolerate, and, indeed, assist people who, statistically speaking, cause incomprehensible suffering to dozens of people over their lifetimes, you need to go to hell.

When you use the internet, it doesn't benefit the people who put the awful things up. If you agree that these subreddits are bad and that reddit should take them down, then you believe reddit itself (the owners/operators) is bad, and you going to the site directly benefits them through advertising.
You can debate whether reddit, which as a private website has the right to censor content that is posted, should use that authority, but if it *is* doing something very wrong, boycotting it is perfectly reasonable as a response.

Wait a minute, so you are telling me, that you can find pictures of kids on the internet? Wait, wait, they are on a page that allows hosting pictures/links? Holy shit this is huge, we need to warn people!
Yes it's bad/illegal/horrible/enter whatever you feel like, but that's.... internet. I love when media try to wrap their heads around the internet at correct it's every corner, and mind you, it has a lot and I mean a lot of dark corners.
|
I use reddit for things like /r/gaming, /r/trees because I like to see those high comics :D, and the front page. Still, after finding out about the hidden wiki nothing surprises me.

I basically see reddit as a light-version of 4chan.
I barely ever go there except for maybe the sc2 and dota2 subreddits...

I know, it's socially acceptable to watch even the worst gore (including kids) but god forbid there is any photo of 17 year old girls on the internet. Thanks, America.

Actually SomethingAwful has done a lot of good things (tens of thousands of dollars donated to various causes around the world), but don't let that stop you from believing I'm working to take away your right to fantasize about that girl next door who's still in high school. And why wouldn't you get rid of a forum dedicated to posting pics of dead kids?\
edit: Yeah and GOD FORBID anything like this keep existing
"Creepshots' FAQ states: "Creepshots are CANDID. If a person is posing for and/or aware that a picture is being taken, then it ceases to be candid and thus is no longer a creepshot. A creepshot captures the natural, raw sexiness of the subject without their vain attempts at putting on a show for the camera. That is the essence of the creepshot, that is what makes a true creepshot worth the effort and that is why this sub-reddit exists.""

Cooper Anderson, go home! His ideas are wrong and here's why, reddit is only a messenger and platform for communication. I don't mind that reddit harbors "creepy" pictures as those images were taken by a third person and eventual crimes are cannot be committed by a bystander. The censorship of internet has lead to the mass surveillance we have today.

to be honest there are a lot worse things on Reddit than "facebook cleavage" *coughspacedickscough*
|
Although this topic is out of date,I just wanna say that if you spend any time at all on the site, it becomes apparent that there are a lot of racists and sexists on reddit. On top of that, the non bigoted people on there have some gut reaction against censorship so for some reason they think that they need to defend the rights of everyone else no matter how ugly their opinions. Also a lot of young kids read reddit, and if they see this shit as accepted on reddit, they might think its acceptable in everyday life, which can lead to some screwed up kids.
