Why can you not see the point I'm trying to make? I'm not saying that the sub is morally correct. I'm not saying having sex with 9 year olds is morally ok. I'm not even trying to say anything about morality at all. Regardless, there is no sex with minors depicted anywhere on Voat as far as I'm aware because it is ILLEGAL in almost every country.
No, I'm not. Stop putting words in my mouth.
Also not what I'm saying. It seems like you're arguing with an imaginary version of me.
What makes you think this? Are you a web developer or admin? What kind of knowledge, training, or experience makes you an expert on this subject. There's a little thing called plausible deniability.
It's a risk you take when you host a community. There's always a couple bad apples who will try and ruin it for everyone else. But, those bad apples are the outliers. You can't subject all the good apples to extreme limitations just because the bad apples exist.

You can't even follow your own arguments.
By your argument, even a Voat babyrape subsite isn't or shouldn't be off the table in the name of freedom of speech. There is as much need or reason for a name like that as there is for jailbait.

No, you just lack reading comprehension. I mentioned explicitly several times that I wasn't talking about morality.
This is correct. Now you're getting it. If there are people in that community actively participating in illegal activities, legal action should be taken against those users, not the web service that hosts their community. The issue isn't moral, it's legal. Regardless of whether or not you approve of an idea or group of people should have no bearing on whether or not that idea or group of people have a right to exist. Simply put, if you don't like it, you have every right and ability to ignore it.
If you're so concerned about /v/jailbait, why don't you just go dox them and give their info to the F.B.I. or something?
It's not Atko's responsibility to play thought police.
