Project Veritas has received and published documents from an insider at Pinterest. The documents, which include product code, Slack messages, and internal policies, reveal terms and websites that Pinterest apparently censors.

In an interview, the Pinterest insider who leaked the documents explains how the company censors pro-life and Christian content on the website.

“I was pretty surprised,” said the Pinterest insider in an interview, when s/he discovered that pro-life group LiveAction.org was added to a “porn domain block list.” The insider explained that the “block list” was intended to be a collection of pornographic websites that Pinterest uses in order ensure that pornography cannot be posted. LiveAction.org is not a pornographic website, instead it is the web domain of a prominent pro-life advocacy group.

So what is Pinterest and is there anyway we can fight them?

I’ve never seen anything political on Pinterest.

Home decor, gardening, crafts, art, recipes.

If they wanted to stick with that, it would be fine by me.

It’s unfortunate that seemingly innocent enterprises Pinterest use their profits to promote such unimaginable evils. As I told someone else though, the quilting and cookie-baking content may seem innocent, but they can also numb all too many Americans from having a morally vigilant conscience.

All it takes for evil to transpire is for a leisurely apathetic and consumerist public to be..distracted as it were. We already legally allow mothers to kill their own children in the womb, and we wonder why children are killing children in our schools. We already have decided the right to life is nothing to lose sleep over, and we wonder why all the other rights and freedoms stemming from that right are eroding in the process.

Labeling it as pornography is what I find particularly egregious.

It was a blacklist they had available, and so it was used to blacklist sites they didn’t like.

Then I guess everyone should just bake and knit on to their liking.

I have huge respect for Lila Rose, recently wed with baby on the way, she could be doing so many more comfortable things: and yet she chooses this. God bless her.

“...monitor the platform for “white supremacist” content from individuals like conservative commentators Ben Shapiro and CANDACE OWENS.”

And I’m not trying to downgrade the home arts, only that it takes a special sort of person to advocate for unborn babies not their own and put so much on the line in the process. It must be rather thankless at times so I feel for her.

And refuse to support Pinterest ever.

Since Pinterest now wants me to sign in with Facebook, it’s pretty much a no-go site for me.

Or churches.

Or paintings by Seitei Watanabe.

Or De Morgan ceramics.

Or inexpensive garden trellises and raised beds.

Pictures of beauty or usefulness, gathered by enthusiasts.

Back when Facebook and other data collectors weren’t in complete control.
