I don't understand why Imgur did the following on <a href="https://imgurinc.com/rules" rel="nofollow">https://imgurinc.com/rules</a> , which I'd assume would be vetted by a lawyer...<p>Caption on example photo of mocking an obese person sitting on a too-small metal folding chair, consequently with a little butt crack visible (maybe at an MtG event):<p>> <i>This buttcrack isn't intended to stimulate erotic feelings, so it's ok.</i><p>Two sections later, this photo itself seems to hit about half of the section:<p>> <i>No hate speech, abuse or harassment.</i><p>Including:<p>> <i>attacks on people based on their [...] age, disability or medical condition*<p>> </i>harassment in the forms of [...] or inciting the community into support or disdain for a person, organization or community*<p>> <i>content that attacks, bullies, or harasses non-public people</i><p>> <i>any image taken of or from someone without their knowledge or consent for the purpose of harassment, [...]</i><p>> <i>Posts that might be taken down may include: [...] negative stereotypes, [...] malicious personal attacks on non-public individuals, [...] “fat people hate,” [...] photos taken of a non-public figure without their knowledge to make fun of them</i><p>Then this section claims to tend to err on the side of taking down content:<p>> <i>It's important to keep in mind that not everything that's mean or insulting is hate speech. That said, the line between unintentional and serious attacks is sometimes difficult to identify, so we're likely to err on the side of taking abusive content down.</i><p>Yet they're including a harassing image in the same rules page, captioned as "ok".<p>This seems sloppy to me. And, when it's in the context of a historically risky move of a major NSFW hoster going anti-NSFW, I wonder whether <i>that</i> part has been worked through meticulously.<p>Kudos to Imgur for surviving this long. I remember when they were effectively Reddit's image CDN, with the norm seeming to be Imgur-served images embedded with `img` elements in Reddit pages. I'd wondered how that worked, financially, and whether there were deals with Reddit, or it was just unofficially symbiotic. Imgur has been an important part of the Web for a long time, and hopefully they've figured out a good/necessary direction for 2023, and will execute well on it.
