Could someone report imgflip to the authorities for promoting murder?

Could someone report imgflip to the authorities for promoting murder? | THOUGH BEING REPORTED TO IMGFLIP, THIS "MEME" WAS STILL AVAILABLE AFTER A GOOD TIME.
IN THE MEANWHILE, IMGFLIP HAD EITHER DELETED OR MOVED TWO OTHER MEMES WHICH WERE POSTED IN THE WRONG STREAM. BESIDES...HOW CAN IT BE THAT SUCH "MEMES" GETS ONLINE IF THE IMGFLIP OFFICIAL STREAMS ARE MODERATED??? | image tagged in black background | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

However, I don’t think there’s a real case unless you have some of the following plus-factors:

—The Mod logs (which we don’t have) show that one or several Mods looked at it and re-approved it
—A dummy exposed to this content posts a racist/anti-Democrat manifesto to ImgFlip
—And then actually goes on a killing spree

“politics” is on auto-approve settings I believe. Which is dumb IMO, all content in that hateful stream should be subject to a pair of human eyes before it gets out there.

Can't be, since the imgflip mods had rejected a number of my memes destined for "politics" for a number of reasons - among them "violence", "harassment" and others - BEFORE publication. So there must have been at least one pair of eyes who had at least willfully ignored the own TOS.

As I had stated in my meme - if a meme lands in the wrong section, it will be usually removed in a jiffy. The very personal attacks against Biden and Hunter plus the one or another Nazi shit...I'm almost sure that I'm not the only one flagging them, but only a fraction of these were actually being removed.
I'm not that pissy about the majority of these memes since they are basically the variation of the same drivel our friends from the dumber side of the brain are ceaselessly posting, but the ones I'm flagging are being hate speech, slander and other violations of law not being covered by the freedom of speech.

Unfortunately I had deleted the answer of the "CEO" of imgflip when I had inquired them about how they deal with being supportive of breaking the laws. As you might have already guessed, it was full of smug and the basic "we don't give any shit".

Would be really nice to hear that the FBI had knocked on their door (and the worst of the "contributors" to imgflip as well) one day...if only not to see that shopped image of Harris' head on a pic of a woman spreading her legs again and again for the reason that Harris is neither a pronstar nor a prostítute.

It happen | I, TOO HAVE HAD LIBERAL SUBMISSIONS TO "POLITICS" REJECTED | image tagged in i am spartacus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Indeed, I too have had at least a couple memes rejected from "politics" for being reposts or "harassment."

I believe the "politics" stream has some sort of filter that flags submissions for human eyes if there is profanity, or a "spammy watermark," or somesuch.

But yeah. I do agree liberal content in politics is scrutinized more heavily. I see hateful or obviously reposted Rightie memes fly all the time even after flagged.

The very most Mod-friendly interpretation I can come up with (and I have no idea if it is true, but it's plausible) is this:

--Politics Mods have to deal with a shit-ton of hateful Rightist content that never sees the light of day.
--Some of it inevitably slips through the cracks thanks to errors in the modding system.
--They Mod a certain fraction of liberal content too, even if it's less obviously a TOS violation, in order to help insulate themselves against charges of "bias."

My idea is that "politics" has "contributers" that flag liberal memes en masse which can get mod bots to delete images

Over there are so many multiaccounts who are giving themselves reacharounds...I don't think that there are actually more active users.

Anyway...I stand to my claim that imgflip is leaning towards the alt-right and farther right. And they do have two sets of interpreting their own TOS. As I have mentioned before, they seem to be unfazed with "memes" which are nothing else but hate speech and slander, like the shop of Harris' head on a pic of a porn scene.

I could still kick a Trumptards ass for deleting that mail...if you had read it, you would draw the same conclusions I had drawn: imgflip has a bias, and it is not towards the Trumptards and Nazis.

Another proof: I had also received a 24h-ban more than once although I had posted nothing different from what the Trumptards are posting the whole day long - just from another perspective.
