Is it art? Is it porn? Is it a meme? Do I promote it?

Art worth zapping ⚡️

The answer is within (the meme)

I wouldnt call it art, and i probably wouldnt promote it. Meme/porn.

I indirectly promoted it, but just another morning at nostr.build 😂

Hahaha true. Heres another question, would it be ok for a child to see it? To me, no.

Adult meme category for sure, but I wouldn’t hide it from View All (there is an 18+ requirement)

Agreed

fwiw i love discussing ethical decisions like this, so if i can help in any way just ask.

It’s great to get the feedback, and why I threw it out there, keeps me in check. I thought it was pretty funny and a good example of the ‘day in the life of nostr.build’ 😂

Back to the question, ‘is it OK for a child to see’.. In defense of the image, the image itself does not contain any obvious sexual body parts or positions. To an unknowing child, it should look like a silly girl sucking someone’s head. They would likely think it’s funny because of completely different reasons. Because we as adults already know what the rest of that ‘other’ image is, and understand the sexual connotations, we instantly see it as porn related.

Would I show it to a child knowing what I know, no.

If a child happened to see it, would it technically break a law or be unethical?

I have to think more about this one, but my gut is that even approaching the line of showing porn to a child is ethically questionable. In other words, if I have to think too hard about it, it is probably not appropriate. I do agree if a young child saw this, they wouldnt realize it was sexual, but I'd prefer to be on the safe side. Maybe im old school, but thats my lean.

And if I need to wonder if it is illegal, related to showing porn to a child, Id lean not to show it. Im sure there will be examples that make me think more.

Gets tricky..

I realize it must, but im not sure I see a huge downside to being safe related to showing a child porn. In other words, if they dont see the questionable image, there isnt a huge loss to them imo

For me this decision is not tricky, I put everything in the 18+ category. I don’t show anything on nostr.build to minors.

But, If someone else uploads THIS image and shows it to minor, would that be illegal (violating my TOS), is where I think would get tricky.

Do you have an automated process or do these have to be flagged manually?

My contact info is on the website and ToS for anyone to report any content, issues, etc.

Since starting nostr.build I have not received a single issue or request to remove/hide any content. Some people were upset I took the 40GB of videos offline only.

What control do you have over that? And how would you know?

Just the typical control any business would have with ToS and reporting issues to me.. What prevents anyone from going to youporn and showing kids?

That was my point. I cant imagine how you could legitimately police that. Sounds like a job for parents.

Now if you can see notes on nostr where a user is clearly showing kids porn that originated on your site, I could see taking action.

Truth is, I don’t even get much porn on nostr, mostly erotica and these kind of memes 😂

Actually good to hear

I align to the law and the community as much as possible, and don’t support any of that kind of crap :)

I agree with your position

definitely art

So many different opinions!

It's mixed martial art

🥋

Definitely art. Also, after some hesitation I will boost this. It's the old big tech conditioning that still makes me consider the impact on my social score when sharing notes. Fuck that.

😂 art to all

He’s always going to make an art jajaja 🤣

As an amateur photographer, I can tell art when I see it and THAT is not art.

This is art. 💋🤌🏽
