Porn on Pinterest

[Former_Member]

Has anyone noticed there is a proliferation of naked women and scantily dressed women on Pinterest? I noticed that ever since MEN discovered it, this is happening a lot. I make the mistake of following someone whose pins I like, then I get all these naked, provocative pics! I joined for the recipes, fashion, decor, etc. Not this!

One of the women I follow started doing this. Black and white artistically done pics, but of naked women all the same. It was slightly shocking one day, as my activity window was nearly full with them, and I have young children sometimes in the room with me. I just unfollowed that one board of hers, since I like the rest of what she pins, and I don't see any nudes now. I also started to really check out all boards before I follow anyone new.

I will follow a board or two rather than the person any more, unless I really like everything they pin. I had a couple people who made a point of it for the shock value I'm sure, but it is against Pinterest policies and there is a report button if you find it offensive. Seems like unfollowing is a bigger punishment though.

I have tried to unfollow the offensive ones, but they still keep showing up. Any advice on how to stop that. I keep going back unfollowing to no avail. It is really pissing me. I am not enjoying it as much anymore. Don't know why Pinterest allows this.

I just had that happen oneday...one guy was pinning a lot of nudity that I don't think was artistic, Be sure to click the item to bring up the pic then on the bottom right (I think it is) there is a report button. Porn is against pinterest policy.

Maria, maybe you need to just completely unfollow that person rather than just one board of theirs, there are so many good people to follow, I don't want to encourage any of that as it will ruin pinterest!

I tried to unfollow by picking unfollow all but still keep getting the porn. Upsets because my granddaughter and I are both Pinterest lovers.

Agreed! If you want, you can follow my "Tech Art" board.
All I post is the iPhone/iPad stands I build. I seriously need some audience members, it seems like Pinterest is one of the best marketing sites but I'm yet to break ground. If you re-pin something I'll rake your yard or wash your car or something lol.
