Does this mean in certain US states that you will have to provide ID in order to view X content?

Made me check for my home state of Utah. But looks like they require a "substantial portion" or 1/3 of content on a site to be porn. source Looks like we all need to get busy posting tits to twitter for the good of the children.

How long would it take to make it have above that threshold?

DDOS now means distributed distribution of sex, obviously.

So you're saying all PornHub has to do is add a large non-fiction eBook library or something?

As someone in Utah as well, who exactly measures that? Can I get their job?

This appears to have only 30% porn, thus it's okay...

Probably no, unless it turns out to have more porn than non-porn. Which could definitely happen!

(And with a site name like X, probably should happen.)

If they censored it like they did pornhub then how would all the right wing States get their propaganda?

Can't wait for three days from now, when they roll that back in a panic.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter 62 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Do they still have enough staff on board to roll back anything?

Do they even have enough staff on board to panic?

I thought they were already allowed... There's tons of adult performers already on there showing full frontal nudity and pornography.

As much as X can get bent The eradication of human sexuality from mass media culture is a clear sign of intense rot at the heart of our civilization. How can such a fundamental element of thr human experience can be so conspicuously absent for almost all art and media. A clear sign of the omnipresent censure and purge of dissenting opinion in our supposedly "free" society.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 6 months ago (2 children)

How can such a fundamental element of thr human experience can be so conspicuously absent for almost all art and media.

What are you talking about? Heaps of movies have sex scenes. Heaps of songs are about sex. There are heaps of books and other stories about sex. The internet is packed with sex stuff of all kinds. Advertisements in the street are obvious implicitly or explicitly about sex. So how can you say that sex is 'conspicuously absent from almost all art and media'? Are you looking?

Allowing explicit porn on twitter doesn't make it ground-breaking in any way. It just changes the tone and target audience of the site, such that you will now see porn inserted into basically any conversation or topic.

Time to drop a ton of photoshops of Musk with a diseased micropenis until he changes his mind about this. Maybe shops of Zuckerberg and Musk heads onto gay porn stars so it looks like Mark is dominating Elon's asshole in the literal sense rather than just the figurative sense.

So he is that desperate already? His user numbers must be close to the ground to try this in the US.

Adult content has always been defacto allowed on Twitter AFAIK. That's why the headline uses the word "explicitly". They're just making it dejure allowed.

X has been toying with the idea of fully embracing adult content and has even planned a feature for adult creators that could position X as an OnlyFans rival. That plan was delayed, Platformer reported in 2022, after red-teaming flagged a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to the launch: "Twitter cannot accurately detect child sexual exploitation and non-consensual nudity at scale."

Non-consensual porn had also been a serious problem for PornHub, eventually they just nuked all unverified accounts.

Hmm, maybe that's the plan for X too. It's been going in that pay-to-play direction for a while now.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Am I missing something here? I thought X/Twitter always allowed NSFW content.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

It had no specific rules for it or against it. It was just a secret rule that you could upload on it. Now it's official ig.

[–] pyre 58 points 6 months ago (3 children)

TIL Grimes wasn't explicitly allowed to have butts, breasts and genitals before.

edit: oh... not his ex. just call it Twitter ffs.

[–] FreakinSteve 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's Twitter. It will always be twitter. It should never be called anything else. Put x.com in your browser and see what happens to the address bar. It's twitter.

[–] pyre 30 points 6 months ago

they recently changed the address i think, finally. but i don't care, it's still a dumb and nondescript name (i mean, it's literally the shorthand for 'unknown') replacing probably the tech brand most integrated into languages around the world.

If X becomes XXX does he gain more power? The more times his favorite letter appears, the stronger his dipshittery becomes!

It's probably so he can say that it's too hard to tell nude children from adults.

[–] Lost_My_Mind 22 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Well see, children are the ones that are still children. You can tell which is which by the way that it is.

So since Deviantart, Imgur, and Tumblr died by banning porn, he's hoping X will come back to life!?!?
