is that we made it easier for them.
That does worry me though.
We'd still be in good company, as all other major
websites, including Google, YouTube and Flickr, use equivalent systems,
systems that are
widely accepted.
I thought youtube had community guidelines where users could report images
they found offensive and those were removed from the site - although from
these guidelines it is not clear how many users need to complain before
something is taken down. 1? 10? 100? 1000?
I can't link the guidelines, they're coming in Korean at Seoul airport,
where I am.
So I thought we were actually proposing something quite different from
youtube, for instance.
