Video: Underage Girls Pics Posted in "Jailbait" Section of Reddit.com
Anderson Cooper recently reported (video below) on the “jailbait” section of the popular social media site Reddit.com, which reportedly has non-nude pictures of underage girls in their swimsuits and underwear.
Cooper said that the site was for adults and that users posted “creepy” comments such as "keep a teen off the streets, put her in your van." Cooper said that Reddit.com does have rules about posting people's "personal information," but not for posting "stolen photographs" of underage girls.
Reddit.com general manager Eric Martin responded in a written statement: "We're a free speech site and the cost of that is there's stuff that's offensive on there. Once we start taking down some things we find offensive, then we're no longer a free speech site and no longer a platform for everyone."
CNN Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said the “jailbait” section of the site probably was not illegal, but could result in a civil lawsuit.

This is pretty disgusting.
This is pretty disgusting. For the site to say they can't take the pics down because it's free speech is bull. Even in a free speech society there are things you do not say or do. They should not allow anything and everything regardless of content by hiding behind the free speech law. I haven't seen the site and I don't want to, but the fact that you have to verify that you're an adult before you access the section called "Jailbait" speaks for itself. If it wasn't about sex or adults viewing children in a sexual way, it wouldn't be set up the way it is....."Jailbait" and verification of being an adult. It's pretty obvious.
Liberalism is a mental disease.
