TA's CEO interviewed by CBS Channel 8

Brilliant. Watch the interview here before it's edited and broadcasted on TV by channel 8 themselves- and don't miss the comments written by the TA Community.

Chris Hoar makes some very good points, and sort of pops the baloon for the TV crew looking for scandals.
"Why should they be held to higher standards than MTV which is owned by your company" and
"we are not 100% perfect, but we do take action" are my favorite quotes.

But the subject brought up by channel 8 is important for all picturesharing sites, - what is ok and what is not OK to post, and who enforces the rules when you have tenthousands of pictures incoming everyday?

It is easier than you might think (but not easy, I said easIER)). My theory is this-

1- There are moblogs and picturesharingsites where your picture is welcome, regardless of what it is. Then why bother posting to sites where they are not welcome, and therefore removed, (and you get banned)?

2- Most communities are pretty self governed, with alphausers deleting or reporting all violations to the rules. An active (and healthy) community is the best defense against unwanted pictures.
