People have been doing that since websites have existed--more specifically since people actually started making a fuss about CP being on the Internet.

The extra layer of scaring off newfags doesn't sound like a bad idea at first, but it makes it harder for people to lurk moar.

8chan was removed from Google's search index because they host boards specifically dedicated to pedophilia. The wheelchair guy in the Spiderman pajamas who runs 8chan is all pissed because he says this violates Google's mandate of "we don't censor, we just show you what's on the internet and only remove links because they host child pornography or DMCA'd content."

Whether or not this has morphed into a desire to somehow get all chan sites removed from indexing as some sort of protest or solidarity thing, I can't say because I don't care but that sounds like the kind of thing the gamergate raid free speech nerds at 8chan would think was noble or worthwhile.

The last time I typed 99chan into Google the first suggestion was "99chan breast expansion." I am unsure if this is still the case.

Someone has been spam posting CP here for years. I assume it's a russian bot of some sort or maybe something related to krautchan since we sometimes get spam posts about that site.

I don't think people who post CP are trying to get all chans removed from search engines, I think they are trying to make a quick buck by selling illegal porn and chans seem like ballza places to advertise their wares because people who browse these sites are likely to be degenerates who shit in windex bottles for fun.

hey I do not shit in Windex bottles for fun. It is my job and I work very hard at it.

>>74394
Here is an interesting fact: if you fill a balloon with feces instead of helium it will not float

>>74395
Why would you get a job that's not fun? You should do what you love, man.

>>74397
Work is not fun, Casper. Work is work.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some windex nozzles to shove up my asshole.

>>74388
Did any of 8chan's pedo boards actually break the law, though? I don't think 8chan could have gotten away with hosting any blatant CP, it must have been discussions about pedophilia and maybe some pics of fully clothed kids. Right..?

>>74388
If that's true about Google's reasoning that will just create more nihilistic pedophiles and more dead raped children. After all, why just get punished for talking when the punishment for getting your d wet isn't that much greater?

>>74401
They basically had entire boards/threads dedicated to hosting chaste/modeling pictures of children with captions that read that they were going to rape/have sex with them. That's a legal gray area, and whenever you have a "we allow anything that's not illegal" kind of place the gray areas are always a matter of heated debate. When a zillion more people started to go to 8chan because of the Gate-that shall-not-be-named, Hotwheels basically put a stop to it.

As far as I know the CP spam is usually just honeypots that are targeted by bots without much common sense.

Having a site that is dedicated to "free speech" is all noble and cool until you realize that your target audience is Nazis, pedophiles, and all the other types that tend to get banned from other discussion/chan sites. Reddit was only able to survive this long with all the racism because of a few choice people and a voting system, but even they now know they can't go on doing it the same way and be considered a "mainstream" website.

>why just get punished for talking when the punishment for getting your d wet isn't that much greater?

I'm pretty sure that getting your site taken off the Google listings but still staying legal and accessible otherwise isn't as much of a punishment as years in prison and getting put on the sex offender registry.

>>74401
So I, uh, just went and took a peek. There was a thread dedicated to open discussion about getting nude pictures from underage girls, including tips on how to meet them online, etc. A couple people posted (clothed) pics that they had supposedly received from underage girls.

So... uh... yeah.

I'm going to go unplug my router and smash my laptop with a sledge hammer now.

>>74406
Jesus. Which board was that? I want to say I'm pretty sure that ain't legal, but there are tons of threads on 420chan about illegal drugs yet the site is still indexed on google.

>>74409
Well, at least you're only ruining your own life if you do drugs, and then again only if you do the wrong kind of drugs.

>>74403
Letting Nazis and pedophiles speak should be the greatest tool to proving that national socialism and pedophilia are as bad as everyone says they are.

You never have to worry about being accused of attacking strawmen ever again when you're busy pwning the real thing.

>>74439
That could be true, but the point being if that you happen to own the site in question, don't fucking cry and complain when your "total free speech zone" becomes a swarming ground for all kinds of terrible people. You either have to rethink your approach or embrace the awfulness for ad revenue or something.

>>74441
I think he's crying because google removed the site from their index, not because his site is full of bad people.

>>74412
Sure, if you're just a drug user. But if you're a drug dealer as I'm sure many of 420chan's posters are, you are involved in ruining other people's lives.

Pedos who fap to CP but do not produce it aren't hellza ruining anyone's life, not even their own unless they get caught.

>>74449
Depends what you're dealing and to whom.

If you're selling coke, then yeah, you're part of an economic system that, at the base, benefits FARC and involves clearcutting rainforest to grow coca and dumping the toxic byproducts of production into freshwater and involves organized crime at basically every intermediate step.

If you're selling pot that you get from your friend the mid-level dealer who gets it from some guy who gets it from the Hells Angels who get it from a grow-op operated by the Indian Posse, then yeah, that's shitty too. Or if you live in the American southwest, replace Hell's Angels/Indian Posse with their Mexican equivalents.

But drugs can be come by ethically and dealt ethically. If you're taking mushrooms, there's a ballza chance they were grown in an old aquarium by some 20-something. Pot can be ethically sourced as well, especially if you have access to a dispensary.

Pic related. It's a badass who probably sells illegal pot and is part of a gang.

Also with regard to child pornography, I would not dismiss the idea of re-victimization, the idea that by viewing material involving an abused child, you are perpetuating their humiliation. It's not something that can be broken down to an individual basis - "you are directly hurting this now-adult woman by viewing the images of her abuse!" - but can you imagine being a victim of child porn and knowing that those images are still being shared/viewed by people? It's a subtle, abstract - even ethereal - thing, but I think it's a legitimate concept that can have a psychic effect on victims of abuse. (Not psychic in the supernatural sense, to be clear).

Things like lolicon or CGI are a whole other story. As is, in most cases, viewing, say, a video of some girl on stickam showing her cooch in 2004.

As far as harm to the viewer goes, that depends too. A while back someone posted a news article here where some guy was arrested for child pornography and his house was a pigsty with garbage everywhere, CDs full of images/videos, printouts of his favorite "stars" hanging by his bed, and he would spend at least 8 hours every day viewing and downloading kiddy porn, seldom going outside, never socializing etc. He was a retired naval officer, iirc.
