I'm trying to put together a comprehensive history on censorship of "explicit content" and/or sex workers online as best I can - who am I missing here? Bonus if you have links!
Morality crackdown online starts with GooglePlus/Apple (2010), app stores (2010), Wikipedia (2010), Craigslist (2010)

Then they came for sex work sites: Rentboy (2015), MyRedbook (2015), Eros (2017), Backpage (2018)
And website templates/blogs: Blogger (2015), Wordpress (2018 for sure, though I think it was in place earlier)

Also payment services/crowdfunding: Paypal (2010), WePay (2014), Square (2015), CashApp (2018), Venmo (2018), Banks (2018)
Then dating sites: Tinder (2018), OkCupid (2018), Bumble (2021)

And, after FOSTA/SESTA in particular, social media: Tumblr (2018), Facebook (2018, though the real name policy made it unsafe long before), Instagram (2018), Tiktok (2020)
Adding Patreon (2017) and fetlife (2017)

I've seen some tweets and articles equate "explicit" content with "adult" content. As someone who has worked intimately with the adult industry, I can promise you those distinctions are both vastly different, and yet purposefully vague.
Explicit feels clear - it's porn, right, it's clearly visible sex acts, XXX, NC-17.

I mean, it's worth noting how even now blowjobs are seen as warranting a PG-13, while cunnilingus = NC-17.

But what is "adult"? What is "explicit"? "I'll know it when I see it" is an incredibly relative statement.

Who decides when a nude is "explicit" and when it's "adult"? What is "art" and what is "porn"? Who decides?

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation certainly wants to.

Thread:

Let's talk about the group who pushed Mastercard to further restrict adult content, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, or NCOSE.
This group was originally called Operation Yorkville, and they were an anti-obscenity group. They linked material like "Fanny Hill" to atheism, obscenity, juvenile delinquency, masturbation, murder, sexually transmitted diseases and "high school sex clubs". In 1962.
The group claimed it was about "protecting the children", but First Amendment Law Review wrote that "at times the organization seemed to be using children as a pretext for a society-wide ban".

Sound familiar?

I've been speaking up about the issues banks and payment processors have been causing adult creators and sex toy companies for a LOOOOONG time. This is far from a new issue. I'm going to give you a list of some of the interviews and writing I've done on this topic over the years.

OnlyFans made money off the labor of sex workers and now participate in their stigmatization. Absolutely pathetic. They should be fucking ashamed.
I guess they can join the ranks of Tumblr, Craigslist, PayPal, and more - at least Patreon does their best to give people workarounds, and has the decency to be apologetic about it
It's important to note that it's not just straight up porn that gets hit by obscenity censorship, but LGBTQ content (which is often still considered "adult" and sexually charged simply for being LGBTQ) and sex education content (including consent conversations, BTW)

When people talk about "violent antifa" and "violent BLM", know that the main medic who showed up to try and save right winger Jay Bishop's life was a Black woman who believes Black Lives Matter. Cops shoved her away, kicked her gear into the gutter, and watched him die.
His friend in white, who responds to a cop asking what happened with "I DON'T KNOW, FUCK YOU" before taking off is Chandler Pappas. I wondered if Pappas took off because he wasn't supposed to be at this protest - turns out I was right, it violates his parole.
Should I even bother telling you about Jay Bishop and how he repeatedly came to these protests armed with guns and bear mace, looking to fight? I don't know. Does it matter that he was a violent felon? I don't know.

Let's talk about male feminists, shall we?

I am exhausted by men claiming to be feminists while simultaneously shutting down anyone who says otherwise, or who asks them to take a step back and look at their behavior.

Today's object lesson - Rob Brezsney of Free Will Astrology.
On the surface, this post looks great - he was informed of his repost being authored by a serial abuser, so he removed it. Cool, right?

Except he deleted multiple women and non binary people telling him this, and then posted like that never happened. Suspicious.
I was curious how long it would take for me to have a post removed asking him about this, and asking him to consider how that appears to others.

Took 17 minutes. Also I was blocked from commenting.
