Pinterest Bans Zero Hedge By Adding To "Porn Domain Block List" Used To Target ...

• https://www.zerohedge.com, By Tyler Durden

Documents leaked to Project Veritas by a Pinterest insider reveal that the San Francisco-based social media company has blocked links from Zero Hedge and several conservative or religious-based websites - adding them to a 'porn domain block list' originally intended to keep the platform free of sexually explicit material. 

Veritas has published several internal documents and interviewed the insider, who explained how the company with nearly 300 million active monthly users censors pro-life and Christian content. The leak reveals an aggressive campaign to censor conservative content under the guise of 'hate speech' and 'fake news.' 

Links to the leaked documents can be viewed hereherehereherehere and here. Of note, in February the social media platform made headlines for blocking searches related to anti-vaccination material. At the time, the company was criticized over their seemingly random methods for determining offensive content. 

"There's a secretive process with no real appeal where people are making extremely difficult subjective calls that have to do with politics, culture and religion," said ACLU lawyer Jennifer Granick. 

The insider who leaked to Veritas agreed, saying that they were "pretty surprised" after discovering Live Action's inclusion on the porn list.
