Reddit, a popular website where users post links and photos of various content on the Internet, recently shutdown its popular "jailbait" section. It had often been used to post pictures of girls found on Facebook or other social media that did not contain nudity, but were not posted for innocent purposes, either.
On Monday, a user posted a clothed picture of a 14-year-old girl he claimed to be his ex-girlfriend. He also mentioned that he had nude pictures, quickly drawing the attention of some 70 users requesting a copy. Shortly thereafter, he relented and posted a nude photo.
Within hours, the section was taken down, and the following message appeared:
"This subreddit has been shut down due to threatening the structural integrity of the greater reddit community."Reddit was started in 2005 and is the 112th most popular website according to Alexa. The site is known for its culture of free speech, which allowed for subreddits like "jailbait".
