I went on there with my young child, and there was a german flag on there, just not the 2000s german flag, more like 1940s german flag.

Really we need some common sense censorship on that site someone made for fun.

neural_thing was really good about resetting if anything went awry. It's just 1 person's toy project they wanted to share. Set your expectations of investment at that level. Detecting swasticas + every other symbol that might taint the mind of your young child is a rather hard task, and yet you expect it to be done for free for you.

I can give them a break for missing one case, and point the blame for that solely at the internet in general for trying to ruin a purely fun thing with hate.


This is not just an issue of my child, for example, if a German user were to open that site in public, they would be found guilty of hate speech, amongst dozens of localities : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bans_on_Nazi_symbols. Also in California, where speech is free but is not free of consequences.

I don't make the rules here, I just don't want this guy to go to jail for his fun project.
