Still doesn't mean we need to contribute to the problem.
2) It's not censorship to decline to provide a soapbox to some person or topic. You want to talk about especially-classic professions, you are perfectly free to start your own forum on your own dime.
My own preference is to not deny information to children, but parents remain the default legal guardians to their children and such decisions must remain with them. We don't need to be making that task more difficult with unnecessary speech that violates our own published standards. |
A last reason is also legal. I believe that some jurisdictions have laws that say if you have adult content, you must take measures to protect minors from them. The protection may be as mild as a warning about adult content, but obviously BAUT doesn't even have that. And again, I don't know if the closed discussion got anywhere close to that.
By the way,
RalofTyr, I agree with you, but others (including courts) don't necessarily.
