Mangadex to purge titles for legal reasons

[MeePotato]

man....

@Xnot something does not add up.

In one message you tell us to no longer upload any such content, but in another you say that only certain reported titles are being looked at and removed.

Was the same ever said about titles infringing on copyright? That kind of content is still obviously being allowed to be uploaded until a report comes in, but here specifically you tell us to no longer upload loli content?

Or should we see these takedowns as equal to DMCA takedowns, so that we can operate as normal and titles will only be removed when they're reported?

And on another note, it still hasn't been addressed why titles were wiped instead of only the chapters. You can't say that you're looking at options to not wipe them if there's already a system in place to do just that (for DMCA takedowns).

Why stop at lolisho? Rape is bad too go remove that. Ryona is also problematic remove that. Guro is problematic definitely remove that. Age gap romance is weird, remove that. Stories with slaves are problematic, just remove every single one with those. Its only fair right? This is what you admins want right?

Lolisho is illegal in most countries whereas the rest of your list is considered artistic

 

[SleepyDemon]

Wow. So a mod/admin/whatever they are (who joined in 2024) can just shittalk the userbase with crass accusations like that with zero repercussions?

 

[Lolipop_Candy]

of course they are, they are trying to go legal

But are dumb enough to not only to antagonize their userbase but also straight up insult them calling them pedos (which is funny because everytime someone says that type of shit about lolies they have some skeletons in their closet)

Seriously, whenever someone said "2D Lolicons are filthy PDFiles". The next months or years a news reporting the same person who said that was arrested for inserting defiled a real child.

Meanwhile, the 2D Lolicons are mostly people with more common sense. They don't do crimes with real human.

Oh wait, do we just discover the biggest shame in humanity in millions of email and files ? The perpetrator only likes yuri and beastiality tag but we don't find evidence the real predator likes 2D child violated and impregnated by old man which is abundant in Japan.

No, it's only illegal in a tiny handful of countries (mostly Anglo countries), it's legal in most of the world.

Homosexuality is illegal in more countries than lolis are. Yet this site allows for LGBT content.

I am telling everyone right now.

Start writing down your favourite manga titles, as long as you have a name, there's always a place that have them.

All of this could have been avoid if you just announcement the new rules implementation and notice the uploader

Not only you did non of those, the metadata got deleted, the Admin, out of all people, insulting the people in your community that your pioneer have build

Removing stuff without annoucing until someone notice and call it out is basically a betrayal, even for legal reason or not. Especially on non-profit-community-based project

The relevant section has been in the content policy for a while. However, as a platform with user-provided content, there are things we enforce reactively based on legal complaints received. This is pretty standard operation for platforms with high volume of user-provided content. Ether stated what was affected in the current round, and I will refrain from speculating on things we have not received complaints on.

I'd also like to clear up, to the many people who seem unaware, that MD operates within legal compliance, as should've been made painfully aware by this and previous content removals. Like it or not, this is the only option for the continued existence of the site.

"operates within legal compliance"
my guy, my dude, how dense are you? MD is illegal by default as MD a PIRATE hosting website.

this level of retardation is unreal lmao

This is a good point. If works are being removed on a case-by-case basis, does that mean that groups are free to continue uploading content that has the same type of content that's apparently in violation until that specific work gets reported? If this is not the case, then please warn users before you decide to remove the majority of the content on the platform.

Now I understand a little bit more about how Muslims still have honor killings.


Sometimes one just needs to die (by whatever means) before they ruin things for others.

Could be that people are busy reaching out to the relevant authorities regarding MANGADEX UK LTD (Company number 16623153) and it's director Henry Hanxuan LIN (who is also the director for NAMICOMI UK LTD, Company number 14310809) regarding their flagrant disregard of UK Copyright Laws, International Copyright Laws, and knowingly hosting content deemed obscene by the U.K. High Court.
