Angry Advertising bad pics?

This is what a member wrote on a certain board...

Quote:
hi all,

Definitely looks as though they advertise kiddie porn.



abload.de is looking good, though German only at this point; there's also imagevenue.com.
My reaction...
Because I use P&H Im gonna inform Pimp about this, if he doesnt remove this stuff immediatly, Im gonna nail his ass to the proper authorities.

Sorry... Maybe its over the top, but ur running a hosting service,
so check the stuff ur hosting!

Please remove and ban the one responsible for this at once!

Who said this is kiddy porn? All the models on the ads you pasted are 18+.

It`s sponsored ads.

Sorry Pimp... But the girl on the left in the blue shirt looks like a minor to me.

This stuff is questionable!

And Im not gonna reveal the member's name and board where this was posted in the first place.

This stuff appears on the majority of image hosting sites and also sharing sites. It is not actually kiddie porn but adult actors that look young. This is done for the express purpose of luring people to teen sites. It is only shock value and usually only is conjured up in the minds of sick people that want the girls to look like children. but they are not. they take you to different teen fetish sites, once you are there you'll see they are not kids. It's just good marketing, thats it.

Thnx for the reply... I came to that conclusion myself and I dont want to put Pimp's hosting service down in anyway, because its a good and fast service.

But I just cant relate myself to minor content if any and/or 18+ models who dress up to look like minors, just to lure some sick individuals to their site.

Call it good marketing or false advertising... Still sick stuff IMHO

Default This case is more serious than you're assuming

These pictures look very borderline, to say the least.

Okay, i could assume that you've not only been assured about the legal age of these persons on the pictures. But rather that you've seen the records proving their age.

So even if i were at good will, there is the serious problem that in some places (f. ex. Germany) the child pornography laws have been changed and do outlaw as well content showing "fictitious minors" (= adults made look like minors). In such places these pictures from your ad fall under the child pornography law!!

Finally, even if i would ignore the legal part, there's another issue beyond my control: this case is making the rounds. I've seen it discussed on a few boards. And you can expect that various boards will ban the use of your service (if it hasn't already happened). And, hands down, this isn't surprising because all these boards, who are concerned anyway to not attract unwanted attention, have the least interest to get even closely connected with child pornography.

Bottom line: even if i wanted to continue using your service, i will no longer be able to do so. Cause i will no longer be allowed. Something i'd seriously hate because i do like your service. That's why i'd suggest to reconsider the case - if it isn't too late already.

18 is the legal age for sex. It is also the legal age to get thrown into adult prisons with serial killers, Charlie Manson and his family, and it is the legal age to go to Iraq, get captured and tortured, and have your head sliced off while being filmed and have it shown on the internet. Somehow this is all acceptable and goes without saying....but if an 18 year old poses nude for a photo it's some kind of dark hideous affair. News Flash. 15 and 16 year olds married and raised families and fought in wars for thousands of years until just recently.. The age of consent for girls was raised from 13 to 16 during the Victorian Age in England. 18 is an adult. In every respect. Many 18 year old girls look young because they are young. But they are adult and high profile adult websites provide proof of age.

And if you don't like it...well....you can just Kiss Her Butt!



The animated version of this will not work in this post:

I think i made clear that my MAIN point is not a personal one. When i'm f. ex. about to post content to 4 different boards, and one of them has banned PimpAndHost (what has happened), then i'm not going to use a different image host just for this particular board. I use a different image host for ALL of them. Cause anything else would mean extra work.

And to demonstrate that there is a widespread concern about "fictitious minors" (what is, like i said, illegal in various places), here's a quote from Imagefap's Rules (no, i'm not a fan of Imagefap), under prohibited content:

Quote:
- Nudity or partial nudity of children and minors. This will always result in a report to the authorities
(.....)
This includes, but is not limited to, "teenmodels" or persons giving the appearance of being under 18
