When X (formerly Twitter) launched paid subscription verification, Mistress Rouge, a professional dominatrix, hoped that it would help her advertise to Sex workers bought Twitter Blue in hopes that it would protect them from being shadowbanned and deplatformed. Under X's new nudity policy, they're being censored anyway.

    Tumblr users fled to Twitter after the porn ban, now Twitter is making the same mistake.

        I think the problem with that is banks and companies like MasterCard blocking payments to sex work

        Yes. They’re not developers for a reason.

          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.

          They prefer to be fucked over at work in a different way.

        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.

        Deplatforming is bad when one of left’s sacred cows gets targeted.

          So you, due to passing your purity test of being both on the right and against deplatforming are saying you now disagree with Musk’s interpretation of free speech and are now denouncing him due to his deplatforming of sex workers. Right?

            I really don’t care about either of them, I find it funny how the argument “free speech only applies to the government” goes flying out the window when somebody we like gets booted of a privately owned platform. And criticising certain parts of leftist rhetoric does not automatically make me a right winger
