Why don IRCops do more to get rid of the warez or porn channels?
In view of the answer to question #10, many users feel that it is hypocritical of Undernet IRCops to not get rid of warez and porn channels. However, Undernet is an unmoderated, world-wide medium. Undernet does not censor what kind of channels can exist, but this lack of censorship should not be viewed as an endorsement. Also, there are many legal issues to consider. Undernet has servers in 10 countries, and each one has different laws on censorship, freedom of speech, and exports. It would be impossible for IRCops to know what is legal in each and every country that has servers, much less all the countries that have users. If warez and porn channels are offensive to you, don’t go there and ignore users who do, but please respect their right to use Undernet.
