If any members wish to debate the ethics, punishment, morals or whatever else related to child pornography, please do so below as it is becoming tedious for moderators to now keep topics in line and prevent every other topic becoming the battlegrounds for this debate. I would also like to clarify the stance of Silk Road on these matters. The of child porn centered debates is , you are free to debate the morals, ethics, punishment, perception and evidence of the issue. However, the of actual child pornography (such as images, videos or graphic literature) is . Whilst we are open for as much freedom as our circumstances allow, we are a drugs market and as such that is what we would like to stay orientated towards. I feel there will be some who will not like this ruling. However, consider that your right to discuss drug usage on this forum is given the same protection as ultimately, there are also people against even discussing the usage of drugs. I will not be reviewing this decision unless there are extenuating circumstances surrounding it so please use this thread for all future discussion to prevent the rest of the forums becoming littered with the debates.
