Q: the internet In Policy Shift, Reddit Bans Child Pornography 
  
 It probably sounds like a no-brainer but up until today, Reddit, a popular user-generated content aggregation website, did not expressly ban or prohibit its users from posting "suggestive or sexual content featuring minors." Also known as child pornography. Reddit is defined in part by its hands-off, pro-free-speech, let-the-users-decide, and self-police approach, but perhaps bowing to corporate and media pressure and maybe the influence of other Internet voices, it announced new rules. 
  
 Reddit's administrators posted these rules a few hours ago under the headline, "A necessary change in policy": 
  
 At reddit we care deeply about not imposing ours or anyone elses’ opinions on how people use the reddit platform. We are adamant about not limiting the ability to use the reddit platform even when we do not ourselves agree with or condone a specific use. We have very few rules here on reddit; no spamming, no cheating, no personal info, nothing illegal, and no interfering the site's functions. Today we are adding another rule: No suggestive or sexual content featuring minors. 
  
 (Emphasis theirs.) After addressing its previous policy and the difficulty of dealing with questionable content on a case-by-case basis (and involving the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children where it has deemed appropriate), the administrators wrote: 
  
 We understand that this might make some of you worried about the slippery slope from banning one specific type of content to banning other types of content. We're concerned about that too, and do not make this policy change lightly or without careful deliberation. We will tirelessly defend the right to freely share information on reddit in any way we can, even if it is offensive or discusses something that may be illegal. However, child pornography is a toxic and unique case for Internet communities, and we're protecting reddit's ability to operate by removing this threat. We remain committed to protecting reddit as an open platform. 
  
 "Why now?" is a much more difficult question than "why?," but the immediate heat points to forum members of website Something Awful. One user posted about Reddit's policy, and his or her disdain and disgust for it. The crux of the argument stems from this mission statement: "This thread is about Reddit actively trading child porn. Do not come in here to defend /jailbait or any other objectivist talking points." 
  
 The remainder of that thread includes a list of Reddit subsections that the Something Awful user objects to, including truejailbait and preteen_girls. Collectively, the data and suggestions (e.g. to contact local media outlets) comprise the "Redditbomb," intended to force Reddit's just-announced position shift. 
  
 Lest you think that Reddit is merely part of a lowly trafficked underbelly of the Internet, according to one metric, Alexa.com, Reddit ranks higher in U.S. traffic than the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times, among others. 
  
 So as for the why now?, consider that on September 29, 2011, CNN's Anderson Cooper reported unflatteringly (how else?) on Reddit and child pornography. 
  
 Included in Cooper's report was the statement from Reddit general manager Erik Martin: "We’re a free speech site and the cost of that is there’s offensive stuff on there … Once we start taking down some things we find offensive, then we’re no longer a free speech site and no longer a platform for everyone. We’re exerting editorial control and that’s not what we are." 
  
 At the time of Cooper's story, Reddit had recently split from publishing giant Condé Nast, although Reddit remained wholly-owned by Nast's parent Advanced Publishing. The report pointed specifically to Reddit subsection "Jailbait," which was exactly what it sounds like. Less than two weeks later, Reddit shut down the section. 
  
 In response to Cooper, one of Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian's defenses of Reddit's content, specifically the morally questionable kind, is that Reddit "doesn't host" the material, that the website is merely a repository of links. 
  
 If true, and whether that's right, wrong, or defensible, it obviously became a liability for Reddit or a standard that weighed against everything else, wasn't worth maintaining. ||||| At reddit we care deeply about not imposing ours or anyone elses’ opinions on how people use the reddit platform.

We have very few rules here on reddit; no spamming, no cheating, no personal info, nothing illegal, and no interfering the site's functions. Today we are adding another rule: No suggestive or sexual content featuring minors. 
  
 In the past, we have always dealt with content that might be child pornography along strict legal lines. We follow legal guidelines and reporting procedures outlined by NCMEC. We have taken all reports of illegal content seriously, and when warranted we made reports directly to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who works directly with the FBI. When a situation is reported to us where a child might be abused or in danger, we make that report. Beyond these clear cut cases, there is a huge area of legally grey content, and our previous policy to deal with it on a case by case basis has become unsustainable. We have changed our policy because interpreting the vague and debated legal guidelines on a case by case basis has become a massive distraction and risks reddit being pulled in to legal quagmire. 
  
 As of today, we have banned all subreddits that focus on sexualization of children. Our goal is to be fair and consistent, so if you find a subreddit we may have missed, please message the admins. If you find specific content that meets this definition please message the moderators of the subreddit, and the admins.

A: 
Before yesterday, link aggregator Reddit had no official ban on users posting "suggestive or sexual content featuring minors," but that changed with a posting from administrators last night. Reddit explained that it's now banning such content, despite the concern that the ban will prove to be a "slippery slope" for the site, which New York's Daily Intel blog notes has defined itself with its extremely hands-off approach and fervent support of free speech. "We will tirelessly defend the right to freely share information on reddit in any way we can, even if it is offensive or discusses something that may be illegal," the posting notes, but child pornography "is a toxic and unique case." The site noted that in the case of child porn, it previously abided by "strict legal guidelines" provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Daily Intel notes that Reddit appears to have folded after taking heat from forum members on the website Something Awful. After a user posted about Reddit's policy (or, at the time, lack thereof) on sexualized images of children, other users joined in and ultimately engaged in a "Redditbomb" to force the issue. There's also the fact that Anderson Cooper aired a negative report on the issue in September of last year, during which a Reddit co-founder defended the questionable content by pointing out that as a collection of links, Reddit doesn't actually host the material. Even so, the issue had obviously become "a liability," Daily Intel notes. Click for more on the issue.
