I would argue showing nonconsentual explicit imagery is worse than iframing someomes app. Just show a non nsfw troll meme or block it outright.

Additionally, the image is I presume, used without permission from the creator.

Kirk is an exhibitionist, he wouldn't mind.

>Posts of unknown authorship have a disclaimer at the top of the page. Problem is, the posts can contain elements. So it's easy to just write a little JavaScript that removes the disclaimer at the top. See this hastily-made, immature example of mine: https://joshcsimmons.com/post/H4sIABO8LmUC/3VT0W7aQBB85yu2QV...

Very clever. For those wondering, this won't gunzip since it's compressed using zlib. you must do a chain like this: URL Decode -> Base64 Decode -> Zlib Inflate.

The world we live in: people somehow feel more comfortable posting shock/traumatic images than regular consensual porn. This is one of the few parts of internet culture I hope to see the end of. We can be edgy and offensive without traumatizing each other.

What kind of edgy and offensive image would you use?

Once, out of the kindness of my foolish heart, I ran a server with a lot of great sound effects for all and sundry to download. Eventually the bandwidth was getting hammered by a huge number of leechers seemingly from some apps that had simply hard-linked to the resources. After replacing said resources [0] they soon ceased but not without a slew of abusive and entitled emails demanding I restore the SFX. Oh fun time…

Hah, back in the flash days I did a similar thing. I ran a website, one of those one-page deals where the whole point of the site was a single button that played a sound. I too had a problem with people hotlinking my flash app, so I used the same trick to redirect it to a different applet that played loud horrific screams!

Goatse is consensual porn, as far as I know. Maybe not “regular”, but that seems to be an unnecessary constraint in this context.

If a man is using a telescope to look into my house to watch the football game, he does not get to be upset when I change the TV to weird inflation porn.

In a lot of jurisdictions, he does, especially if you did that knowing that he was watching.

Do you have a link to such a case? Genuinely asking because I want to know how the lawyers argue this in court without bursting into giggles from embarrassment.
