Mangadex to purge titles for legal reasons

[PilotNOT]

If you're talking about F95, their application of their rule on this is hilariously uneven. There are hundreds of loli h-games on the site. It just depends on if the mod who's chosen to screen it has a personal vendetta against this content or not.

So same with steam lmao

Might be a bit unrelated, but have you noticed a pattern? It feels like UK and EU is trying to colonizing the internet like it's 1800 over again with all the surveillance attempts and censorship efforts lately

I'm not European or American myself, but i can feel how uncomfortable this is already, and we're just getting only a pinch of it elsewhere.

Yes, it's very unfortunate. And it's strange that MangaDex would try to cater to "Western laws" in the first place, since so many scanlators and readers are outside of the West.

Manga is absurdly popular in South America and Asia. Manga is even quite popular in the Middle East.

So what the MangaDex staff are really saying is: "We're going to heavily censor because we're catering exclusively to Anglo countries, and everybody outside of Anglo countries can go screw themselves, we don't care about you, go away."

Because they are trying to speed up control with their dying power that's why.

In their fear of a new "Angry 1940's mustache man" appearing, their government overreach and nanny state policies that actively restrict people's liberties are going to create a new "Angry 1940's mustache man."

Stop the misinformation. Titles being removed depict sexual activity between characters that are minors, either in appearance (handled on a case-by-case basis) or confirmed in the dialogue. It's about law and compliance with it. If you jerk it off to little kids, go and do it elsewhere; there are sites that specialise in that.

Hi!

I created an account just so I can call you a complete moron and a fucking tourist. Eat a dick!

 

[PilotNOT]

Lmao they deleted anything related to the other manga alternative

 

[sadmanex]

they are fine as long art schools don't start to reject people

 

[WhiteRaven_OfTheValley]

Deleting the post about other alternatives or not, people is going to move on with their titles name in hands anyways, if they think they can stop user drain, they ain't doing anything meaningful

Infact, they making it worst.

My reply about Korean manhwa was removed as well, and it wasn't even about any particular site.

MD has always banned direct links to aggregator sites, but removing discussion of MD alternatives without directly linking other sites is going too far.

Bato.to get sold

original batoto wasn't sold. The guy who ran it just got tired and decided to shut it down one day. That's why there was such a rush to get MD up and running. There was limited time to grab all the series on batoto before it was gone for good.

They're feeling threatened already.

wasn't he raided?

Last I check Fakku could no longer host most of "problematic" contents since late last year

You'd be the only person to know this as nobody has used fakku since they decided they didn't want to have hentai on their hentai site

 

[quindarious]

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.

Yeah we here at Mangadex wouldn't want to host anything ilegally, amirite?

 

[Lolipop_Candy]

This is betrayal. MD finally unmask themselves.

Why should follow a subcountry law while MD can move to operate to another country that have no such laws. Are you guys is finally start moving like CR / F! way and gonna take down pirate site like them according to your keikaku ?

Remember that your base was ancient Batoto replacement. And there was bato.to that was destroyed.

If you can replace Batoto, we can replace you easily.

removing discussion of MD alternatives

They've been enforcing that every now and then since the big DMCA removal. Not sure how it is now, but it was less consistent early on.

 

[dmy96]

So MD mod is working OT on this page, removing any mention or hint of alternative

 

[Miros]

They're feeling threatened already.

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)
