No censoring? So what about child abuse images?


What about child abuse images?

No censorship means no censorship.

It doesn't mean the provider of neocities couldn't be ordered to remove the illegal content and hand over all details about the person who uploaded it.

"No censorship" doesn't mean criminals will be protected by neocities. It doesn't mean that child abuse images can't be dealt with in accordance with the law.

Remember that the internet is not classified like movies and TV. There is no requirement to put "Rated R18+" on a website. As it should be.

All he is saying is that Neocities basically has the same censorship rules as the internet itself. In other words, no censorship.

A murderer can turn their PC into a server and self-publish images of his victims for all to see. They will get caught, and the server shut down, but the point is he didn't need to go through a censorship body to get the images published. Exactly how it should be.
