Title: Jimmy Wales wades into Wikipedia porn debate
Post by: Simon on May 09, 2010, 20:36

Jimmy Wales has poured fuel on the Wikimedia pornography row, by encouraging admins to delete images that "appeal solely to prurient interests".  The comments come almost a month after Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sagner reported the Wikimedia Foundation to the FBI for serving up "depictions of child sexual molestation" on its servers.  The report brought a scathing response from the Foundation, which claimed "we don't have material we would deem to be illegal. If we did, we would remove it." The organisation denied hearing from the authorities.

Given that anyone can edit the entries, I don't see how they can constantly keep track of content.

They can't, it's a joke in some instances.
