holy christ, don't go to imgur right now

[Derah]

There's a legal type?

From what I understand, the animated kind is quasi-legal in some countries, since it doesn't involve actual children, and the actors are always adults. It will still get you in a shitload of trouble if people catch you watching that shit.

I have a photo on Facebook of me being butt naked.
When I was a baby of course
It's more tolerant in some cultures compared to others.

[Crissi]

just a preventative warning to not discuss CP ( beyond what to do if accidentally seen) or wether drawn stuff classifies. Keep this on the imgur problem

Sick stuff, any way you slice it and dice it.

[schwarzkopf]

Oh, so you're just as annoying and insipid on imgur, too?

Nah - I'm rational and reasonable on IMGUR as I am here.
Of course - there is a group of people that find rationality annoying, my apologies if that includes you.

PS: IMGUR is generally a fairly good site, has no worse advertising than MMO-C does - but every so often just like here, things go a little astray due to some real whack job. That's pretty much what happened here.

Preaching to the choir dude. No arguments from me on that end.

Annoying and insipid is bringing your political butthurt into a topic that's about as far removed from politics as can be.

If you got punished by the website's mods, you must have broken the rules.

Don't break the rules if you don't want to be punished. Simple as that. Now quit derailing the thread.

Then why bring up said topics ?
In addition - people are too quick to ascribe EVERY TOPIC THERE IS to 'politics'. So calm down and be rational there ok ?

I didn't derail the thread, I main one innocent comment which you decided to attack like a hungry little gopher.

I don't break the rules dude - that's something the originator of this IMGUR event did however.

[Torto]

Stupid question, but if you did report this to the police would they come and take your PC into evidence? I just have this horrid feeling that you try to do the right thing but you then spend the next 6 months fighting with some police bureaucrat trying to get your computer back.

Just naked kids?

If you've ever babysat, worked in a daycare, had a child of your own you've seen naked kids. I don't see why you are traumatized unless it was sexualized.

[Stelio Kontos]

I have no issue being rational with rational adults.

Not so much with folks whose posts are always either whining about how they're already dead (yet still managing to post every day for years about how dead they are) or whiny, passive-aggressive posts about politics.

I won't indulge your derailing anymore, run along now, go mope somewhere.

[schwarzkopf]

If you've ever babysat, worked in a daycare, had a child of your own you've seen naked kids.

However there tends to be only one reason one posts them on mass, in a public forum for all to see - and that reason is the core of the concern.

I have no issue being rational with rational adults.

Excellent - glad we can get along then.

[Crissi]

and quit the off topic bickering

It wasn't just naked kids. A quick google search and indeed it seems IMGUR was briefly attacked recently. What people saw varied from case to case. In some cases it was russian links to adware, in others it was links to pirate movies, and in others it was actual bonafide child porn. As in children having sex.

A picture of a naked child by itself isn't necessarily child porno.

Actually is there a way to use imgur without going via the front page? I don't need to see that random crap. Also just occurred to me I use it at work and who knows what kind of shit might come up.

First step, scan your pc to make sure it isn't malware on your own computer hijacking you. Screenshot anything that comes up. Not cleaning any malware would preserve possible evidence, but it leaves you with ick on your computer.

Step two: https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-rep...ography-970973

Understand that there are potential complications. You may be making yourself a witness in a case, you could even be making your computer evidence. If you have a problem with either of those things, you should consult a lawyer first.

Edit: @derpkitteh

I see we have reached the point where all the would be internet law professionals start jumping to conclusions aswell.

Its always funny to read this kind of thing.

You are not incriminating yourself since those pictures you where browsing whre supposed to be legal. If the site is hacked and something illegal pops up from it thats not your problem unless you start sharing it(dont).

Maybe a lesson to do your job and not surf random sites on the clock because it might come back on you. Probably not though.

[schwarzkopf]

Yes, you can use it just to store images (public and private) and post links to them on other sites.

However to do that you need an account etc.

[Gungnir]

I've been browsing usersub for the last 3 hours and I didn't see anything like that?
I saw one or two posts with cyrillic on them but I'm used to seeing russian GTA posts, that's just there every day.

Just a normal day on 4chan /b/ i'd say
