gab suffers because the lack of porn skews the culture
Discussion
While I understand that Gab's stance pushes away free speech advocates, I think it also solves a huge legal problem. You don't need to worry about whether or not someone is over 18 if you don't allow any pornographic material to be uploaded. CSAM is going to be a problem that nostr has to find a way to deal with in the very near future, if it isn't already being uploaded.
Given how those laws work, if and when that happens the users of the platform might be put at legal risk just by opening the public timeline or following hashtags...
I believe porn should be criminalized so that part is not a problem.
much porn in much of the world is criminal, i dont think any expression like it is generally harmful tho
I don't believe in free expression or free speech but porn is neither anyway. It's harmful and there are countless men who have been hurt by consuming it and countless women who have been hurt by producing it.
