Why don't violent websites get shut down? - Megan Wright_ - 04-08-2014 04:07 AM
So I don't know if anyone has ever heard of a website called "thatsphucked.com" but it's extremely graphic. It displays videos of people getting murdered, shows gruesome car crash scenes, drug lords executing people, disembodied animals/people, mutilated animals/people, child porn, violent porn, and a bunch of other disgusting sh**. IT'S BASICALLY A GORE FETISH WEBSITE. It's a f****** sick website is the point I'm trying to make and whoever made it should be put in jail and be mentally evaluated. I think we all get curious at one point about murder/violence, like I was when I browsed this site, but this sick-o is on a whole other level. I remember it's run by one man, I believe in his 20's or 30's who calls himself "Mr. Phucked" (He put information about himself on the website) and he even goes as far to say "I'm single if anyone wants to date contact me", like DAFUQ are you trying to pick up women on a freaking website like this. I'm not religious, I just see this as something that could affect the younger generation who come across it. I came across it a couple years ago (when I was about 16) because I followed a website link from this picture I was curious about and that's when I discovered the terrible website. There's is NO DISCLAIMER on the freaking website, when you type it in the URL and go it takes you directly there WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. Please please please don't look at this website, I strongly advise against it! Like I said there is NO WARNING/DISCLAIMER. Is there anything I can do in my power to get this website shut down? It's been up for who knows how long now and nothing has been done about it.

Freedom of speech.

Well, unless we give the government power to track what we do on the internet, there is not much that we can do. I guess just stay away from it. Hopefully the people that do watch it, will not get any ideas and be in control with themselves to not harm anyone.

Yes, freedom of speech. Why don't they shut down pedophile website NAMBLA? Same reason.

It doesn't break a law, technically. As long as it doesn't break a law, then there's nothing that can be done.
However, if it contains explicit content I believe that most countries require it to have a warning, so you could get one of those added. That's all though, you can get a warning page added, you couldn't get it banned.

Is this site easily found by a search engine? I agree it should be taken out and made unsearchable so no one can find it unless someone actually specifically goes to it and types the URL, like for example on the Dark Web there are lots of sites not indexed by search engines.
But Censorship is a form of control, we should all have freedom to choose what we want to see. And it certainly should not be up to any individuals to decide what can and cannot be on the Web.

As long as the website doesn't violate it's web hosting policies, the site is not taking down.

It doesn't violate any laws, it's freedom of speech.
