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

    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.

      I think to get under his skin the most having musk be a sub to someone like zuck or hillary clinton or maybe some of the guys he asked for funds to help buy twitter

      I wonder if him having a train run on him by a bunch of union guys would bug him the most

      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.

        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.

        Twitter is way better for certain topics. I haven’t been able to find the quantity or quality of OSINT stuff almost anywhere else at the level that Twitter has it.

        If you want to know what’s happening on the ground day to day in Ukraine or Middle East, there’s no better place (edit: I lied. Telegram is pretty good, I forgot when I was writing this)

        Like there are people who geolocate pictures to determine GPS coordinates and then get satellite scans to determine the effects of missile strikes or what have you

        Foe example remember the Iran missile/drone salvo? There was an Israeli response to it? Claimed they blew up some Iranian radar for an air defense system with a missile?

        Satellite images showed that was a lie. The damage on the ground implied only a small explosion that looks like other drone explosions. I only knew about it because I was on Twitter following specific people.

        There’s a lot of shit you have to tread through, lots of bots and spam and crazies and propaganda accounts and what have you

        But if you look around there’s a lot of gems

      X is… dead? That’s news to me.

      As of 2023, there are approximately 556 million active monthly users on X. As of April 2024, X receives around 6.1 billion visits per month.Apr 25, 2024

      What… reality do you live in?

            But until you call tell me how many bots, your claim isn’t evidence that it’s actually as active as you imply it to be - at least by humans.

              No one knows. Apparently all the bigots on X are the bots.

              That’s the best that has been done /shrug

              Plus, who really gives a fk about X if you’re not even using X? I don’t know why the hardon for the community size of X.

        I literally have an account there dedicated to porn. Have had it for years. I stopped using Twitter after the muskocalypse, except I still check my porn account every once in a while.

        You have to actively go looking for porn there, but once you do it’s a neverending rabbit hole. Especially if you’re into some niche/fetish stuff. There’s some unique stuff to be found there…

        There is tons of porn on twitter since a long time. They somehow managed to keep it away from “normal” twitter. That is why it worked. That has been eroding for a couple of month now with the “invasion of the porn-bots”. If they don’t manage to continue to separate the porn-twitter from the non-porn twitter I don’t think that will end well for them.

        I’ve never used Twitter, but my partner does and regularly comments on the quantity and quality of porn there. It’s my understanding that another popular social media app banned porn a few years ago and all of the porn moved to Twitter.

      Every video I’ve ever tried to watch on Twitter took ages to buffer, and then looked like something from RealPlayer for the duration of it.

      At least porn sites actually manage video streaming successfully.

      In 2019 I replied to a funny video on twitter.

      I replied “Oh man, this kills me.”

      Instantly banned, no warning, no explaination. Just…banned.

      At least thats why I think they banned me. I have no idea. Instead of telling me why, I had to google likely reasons for an autoban, and found thats a common reason. Its the only thing I can think of.

      That being said, I wasn’t threating murder, or suicide. I was saying “this video is funny” in different words.

      So I don’t find the bots obnoxious now. I never see them!
