Google and Reddit Tighten Their Policies Regarding Explicit Photos

I suppose it had to happen sometime. People had long been abandoning their blogs on Blogger, or migrating them to Wordpress.

It might be partly the pornography community clamoring to the masses to stop infringing on their copyrights, sharing their "pay-for-play" content freely across the Internets. It might be partly just the users racking up immense amounts of bandwidth costs in sharing the content on these free services.

Either way, it's a "whoa boy" time for the Internet community, even though some like @cyberczar and the likes have long predicted this doom.

I would say this could have read "How a same-sex kiss may derail 'Empire'"… or perhaps it should if I base it on what the article seems to say.

They'd addressed inherent homophobic tendencies the audience may have because the test audience rejected the show outright with the kiss scene (which I have not seen; I've not watched the show because I just haven't felt like it). 

Stating they'd done the scene early in the series and the fact apparently the show is having splendid ratings together seem to indicate this is a test audience false positive.

I don't know. Maybe I'll try the show?
