  When I visited wordpress.com to login to my account just moments ago I was rather confronted by an image depicting a minor engaged in a sexual act. Why is WordPress displaying illegal material? Surely this was a mistake?

  I saw this too…absolutely disgraceful that such things are even on wordpress never mind the front page.

  I am glad they resolved it very quickly. But I must say I was disturbed and still pretty upset. I have 2 little girls and this is shocking. It is not wordpress, but the stupid SICKOs!

  We act on material as soon as we know about it.
  Sorry this got past our automated checks.
