I am sorry.... I must be missing something here.... Is Freedom of Speech applied selectively and conditionally in the United States?
Actually, yes - First Amendment protection really only applies to things involving government. Private sector can censor as they please.
Note that I don't have issues with the censorship itself, just in how stupidly it's being applied - is the goal to just make it irritating for the typical person uploading to the gallery, or to protect a few stupid people who check "show me nudity" and then - for some reason I have failed to grasp, though I've tried - are shocked by the nudity they asked to see.
People have made the argument that it's for the non-registered users ... non-registered users cannot view the gallery. Why prohibit nudity in thumbnails but allow it in the gallery? It makes no sense!
