Re: [Bug-gne]the problem of illegal content vs. freedom

[Oliver Denzel]

Hi All!

I personally would feel guilty if I would have helped(by writing 
software) someone to murder. This is I think a point of ethics where you 
have to balance things. I feel very bad about the situation right now, 
because we are getting towards a direction where articles about 
pedophilia would be allowed, but if it contains commercial content it's 
a big no-no. I have far less problems with children seeing a commercial 
ad, than seeing explicit pictures of an old man f**ing a child that's as 
old as him/her.

The only way to solve this is to have a big pool of reviewers, which 
would help to get the bias out of way. It would be possible to get 
everybody who views an article to say if it was useful for him or not. 
That would be a first point of review, because if an article gets 100 
reviews which all tell that it is rubbish or even worse, people would 
focus on articles which have a better rating. And most of the people 
would rate thing as an article with pcitures of pedophilia very low.

Another point would be to have a system where every user can also do an 
"in deep" review where he rates stuff like legal issues, suitability for 
children, and so on. If we like to advance on this topic, it would even 
be possible to give weights to the reviews, which means, if somebody 
writes articles with good ratings, he writes sensible stuff. So his 
ratings of other articles can be considered as sensible. Perhaps only on 
the same topic.

That's all.
