Hey adult creators! Good news, the loss of OnlyFans is not — I repeat NOT — a tragedy. You can thank NCOSE's Public Policy Analyst @PansySWatson for saving you from your $130/month exploitation.
Last I checked, a pimp profited by taking away the earning of sex workers. If there’s a pimp lobby, it’s NCOSE doubling their revenue last year by campaigning to cut off sex worker income.
Oh look, NCOSE salaries doubled as well!
Not a lot of support or services for actually deplatformed sex workers, oddly! Maybe I’m reading this wrong!
But a nice year over year nest egg! Put a feather in your cap, NCOSE! 🪶Sex worker (issue) exploitation is one profitable income stream!
But who knows! I’m not too brite — just a homo looking at a bunch of public documents that are above his pay grade. Maybe someone else can tell how they made it to the Top 0.1% anti trafficking earners. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/org…

Absolutely stunning investigation by NPR into the racist, antisemitic, misogynist roots of “porn addiction” junk science — the very stuff being peddled by antipoorn groups in order to pass age-verification bills and other censorship.

It’s all nonsense. npr.org/2026/01/01/119…
If you’ve ever struggled to explain or debate the “porn is bad” crowd, personally or professionally, this is about a good a takedown as you’re going to get from a national publication. Image
And if you ever wondered about the explosion of anti-SW hate online, have I got an origin story for you.

Also, potentially, a fetish market. Image

Project 2025, a coalition of leading conservative groups, has mapped out its plan for the first days following a Republican Presidential victory:

*Outlaw porn
*Imprison those who create or sell it
*Shut down internet providers who allow it

https://t.co/XZNAVsP55Kdamemagazine.com/2023/08/14/the…

And, of course, when they say "porn" they mean ANY information related to LGBTQ+ lives. (I'm not being hyperbolic here — they want librarians to be registered as sex offenders)

These are the same groups pushing to have you submit your ID to look at porn ... so you do the math.
I've gotten hoarse saying it, but THE PUSH TO VERIFY ID ONLINE NOT ABOUT "PORN". The laws AS WRITTEN allow censorship of text or cartoons (even descriptions of nudity or body parts).

Nearly anything can be blocked. It's part of plan to censor the internet in its entirety.

I hear this argument A LOT from censorship advocates, usually in regards to liquor or Playboy, not spray paint — so let’s quickly tackle this, shall we? Image
When you buy liquor (or spray paint, who knew?) you flash your ID. It's quick, it's easy and it's free. If this all that was required of adult sites, I don't think there would be any complaint.

But that's not what's happening.
When you flash you ID — even to buy Playboy — the clerk looks at it and moves on.

They do not record your ID, or ping a government database to see if you're approved. There are no third-parties involved, and no record kept of your purchase. In short, little risk of surveillance

Mindgeek’s 3 lawsuits against German regulator KJM were dismissed yesterday by a German court. KJM — which has threatened adult creators on Twitter with arrest — says they’ll proceed with a nationwide block of their domains. Only it’s not that easy… 1/ computerbild.de/artikel/cb-New…
First, because telecom companies are largely unwilling to get roped the German regulator's sex censorship campaign. One is even suing. 2/ spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzp…
The reason their suing — and why MG was also — was because Germany wants to have control of content outside of Germany. (MG is based in Cyprus, which has ... different laws). Germany wants to treat the internet like airspace, essentially. If it can be accessed in Germany ... 3/

Legislators in Alabama want to force Apple, Samsung, Google and Jitterbug to mandate that phones, tablets and laptops come with porn filters on and activated — whether you want it or not.

Republicans: the party of personal responsibility.
al.com/news/2023/04/b…
Now, device level filters are shockingly effective. They're also super easy to use. Which is why it's stunning to think that they can not trust someone buying a device to decide whether or not to turn it on.
And of course, there's a litany of horror stories that ... I'm willing to bet did not happen. Image

You want to really deprive El No of income, without depriving marginalized communities of one of their only chances to be visible? #BlockTheBlue selectively (fascists! trolls!) and block advertisers aggressively.

Sacrificing SWers voices is not the answer.
Twitter is one of the only platforms where people who trade sex or make adult content have ANY voice. And even here, they're constantly shadowbanned and harassed. Protect yourself by all means, but understand that a flat #blocktheblue is a campaign of erasure.
The work that @Esqueer_ has been doing is incredible and vital, and the vitriol that trans people (including trans SWers) face is unreal. This isn't about shaming, it's about flagging the fact that #BlockTheBlue will also do real harm.
