Under Musk’s leadership, X has become increasingly hostile toward nudity and explicit content. This week, X started flagging NSFW posts as “sensitive material,” as Rolling Stone reported, and restricting flagged accounts to limit their reach. Sex workers said their engagement tanked and their accounts no longer show up in X’s search, even if they weren’t notified about being flagged.
Let sex workers be, you weird puritans.
“Free speech absolutist.”
There absolutely should be no free speech is what he meant.
Only for Nazis
When no one can speech, speech will finally truly be free.
Hey dont insult the Puritans, they were generally egalitarian and anti-slavery, also John Brown came from a Scottish Puritan background. If you got the Puritans of old to interact with these modern fuckwads youd pribably need a hazmat team to clean up whatever was left.
While it sucks and in no way defending these actions many sites including twitch, youtube, etc typically rely on advertisers. So deprioritizing sex and violence is typically the caused due to advertisers dictating what material they want associated with their brands. Coke probably doesn’t want to be associated with a person getting double teamed if they are aiming for a “family brand”. eXtwitter is probably trying to appease advertisers since they screwed the pooch ever since Elon took control and they lost a ton of negotiation power. If websites thought they can make $$$ being sex worker friendly they would do it but typically the ads for adult sites have terrible payouts. This is the dangers of a “free” internet.
Have you seen what Elon tweets? He wants anything but a family brand.
And that is partially why many of their advertisers decided to fuck off. Except now they are hemorrhaging far more money, so while their head may be shooting the shit. The actual adults in the room know who feeds them.
free internet
controlled by the whims of massive corporations
You are very close to a realization here.
There are some things only achievable via massive corporations. You aren’t going to be able to copy a youtube or twitch on a fediverse style, well technically possible but very ill advised since storing full video is pricey and the bandwidth requirements will kill the host in costs.
Tumblr users fled to Twitter after the porn ban, now Twitter is making the same mistake.
is it a mistake? why cant sex workers create their own platform? too much work?
This is such a bizarre point. Why does anyone try to use existing services when they can just make their own. Go dig a well for water and build your own dam for hydroelectric power.
Yes. They’re not developers for a reason.
They prefer to be fucked over at work in a different way.
Oh yeah, give it to me, ohh, ohhhh, OHHH YEAH
Wait why the hell does it still say ‘critical error at line 5176’ HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO THIS SHIT?! It was so much easier when I just boned people.
Semicolon.
I think the problem with that is banks and companies like MasterCard blocking payments to sex work

Deplatforming is bad when one of left’s sacred cows gets targeted.
Downvote Musk spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the headlines every day. Don’t be a useful idiot.
I wish I didn’t have to work so hard to avoid this sort of content every single day
another hit from the self proclaimed “free speech absolutist”
Poor fools, it’s always run on porn.
Don’t a lot of those angry incels go to Twitter to see tits though?
Honestly, if Twitter suddenly cracking down on T&A ends up causing another X-odus to the fediverse, then it is mildly amusing that the “masto” in “Mastodon” is literally from the Ancient Greek word for “boobs”.
It’s all comes around in a great big circle or a single boob
Good old boobytooth is the place to be!
