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

Pussy in bio ☝️☝️☝️👅
Liar! I got excited for no reason! 😠

All I see is ice cream with… beans?
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?
Probably by morning.
DDOS now means distributed distribution of sex, obviously.
Helldivers can complete any mission in 48 hours. Just ask Sony…
if we start after lunch, I bet we can wrap this shit up before the bars close.
If Twitch’s little experiment is anything to go by, it already is.
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…
So you’re saying all PornHub has to do is add a large non-fiction eBook library or something?
I don’t think their enough books in existence to balance out that much porn.
Save every page as a RAW image file. Then take an 8k video of each page of the book on paper, slowly enough to read them. Problem solved.
Nice try but you’re not tricking me that easily into using Twitter!
You underestimate how horny the internet is.
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.)
Time to create an account
If they censored it like they did pornhub then how would all the right wing States get their propaganda?
Rules for thee but not for me.
Pornhub set up their geofence. X won’t listen and no one will enforce it.
Facebook
Can’t wait for three days from now, when they roll that back in a panic.
Do they still have enough staff on board to roll back anything?
Do they even have enough staff on board to panic?

nothing but goatse.
worse. rabbithole. ever.
Good luck peeling all copies of my balls off their chin of a website by then!
“What do you mean Coca-Cola doesn’t want their ads next to a video of three men fisting each other?”
Coke would pay them and supply 2 liter coke bottles if they thought it would would be more profitable than damaging to their image.
Honestly, all the respectable advertisers left anyway so they have nothing to lose
I thought they were already allowed… There’s tons of adult performers already on there showing full frontal nudity and pornography.
My friend says he wants the sauce
twitter.c*m
🤓☝️ erm its X now not twitter
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.

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.
I should have clarified, freely available mainstream media and art. I don’t watch ads so I can’t say for sure, I don’t consider advertising to be part of art and media, more like a form of pollution on top.
From what I’ve senn tge most you might get are suggestive allusions to sex. It’s just not treated as the everyday part of life that it is.
By comparison, it is entirely overshadowed by violence and gore.
Every new game that is released with a character dressed in even a slightly sexually suggestive way results in a rabid meltdown from braindead Twitter users. Payment processors like PayPal are forbidding the use of their services for NSFW content due to pressure from fundamentalist christian organizations like Exodus Cry, under the guise of “child safety”
Religion is the word you’re looking for.
And why religion? The answer is: control.
I mean they did have religions in greece and rome, yet it’s full of nude art
Yea but Greco-Roman paganism didn’t treat women as owned property of men like the Abrahamic faiths do. It’s not necessarily religion in total, it’s that the current dominant religions are extremely controlling and more about self-oppression for eventual reward than guidelines for a good life like most pagan sects
Greco-Roman paganism didn’t treat women as owned property of men like the Abrahamic faiths do
Yes they fucking did lmao. Greek women had absolutely no rights
right, which means it isn’t “religion” as a concept which is the problem.
Also, sexuality is pretty commonly open in Hinduism, which is a pretty huge current religion.
It isn’t a problem with “religion”.
I was going to say, isn’t the Kama Sutra a Hindu text? We have a bunch of sex positions that may have been lost to time if it weren’t for the Hindu religion.
So maybe just an old tradition that hasn’t died out yet ? A sharp edged piece of societal flotsam that we’re still dealing with ?
Is muskrat religious?
His only religion appears to be financial technofeudalism. I guess the religious fundamentalists aren’t lucrative enough for him to enforce their commandments.
Yeah, I’ll always give credit where credit is due, and no matter how much I detest Musk, this is a legitimately good move and I fully endorse it.
On the other hand it means no more browsing X at work. NSFW is aptly named.
Another arbitrary imposition.
it’s not arbitrary… there’s this whole thing with sexual harassment and a hostile workplace that makes porn a bad idea for a large diverse team….
some reactions definitely go too far but it’s not arbitrary
You make a good point, it"s definitly part of the outline of that social wound.
Some people are so fragile and the topic that they consider mere exposure as an attack or harrasement.
And whoever is most fragile seems to the decider for everyone, of what is forbidden.
Really a powerful position to be in …
i don’t really see being too fragile as a powerful position….
it has definitely been abused by people pretending to be fragile… but the amount of very hostile, sexually aggressive people at many workplaces has made it this way, not the fragile people.
work is a place people are dependent on to make money to survive, with people they have to see every day.
a good friend of mine was a manager and very mildly cussed at a worker when they made a mistake… not even at her but just cussed as he was walking off….
she went to h.r., said it was because he hated lesbians (he doesn’t, has a lesbian aunt and several lesbian friends).
they fired him after ten years of being a good worker, working overtime or filling in whenever asked… never being late….
just fired him over one person saying one thing.
everyone else backed him up, but they didn’t care.
….
unions are pretty good, btw.anecdotes aren’t data. even if this is true, which i don’t believe it is to be honest, it pales in comparison to the innumerable discriminatory practices towards women and all sorts of minorities. also even in your own friend’s probably distorted version of the events he’s in the wrong.
my point is sometimes it does get abused…. but it’s in place for good reasons
and the fact that you think you know whether my friend was in the wrong or not means that you’re not worth talking to
