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.
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?
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.)
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.

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?”
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
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.
“And just like that the perfect use case for AI finally emerged.”
…is THIS what we’re doing for gay pride month? I mean, I’m not against it, I just want to know the plan so I’m not caught off guard.
It’s one thing we’re doing. We’re also making pride look like an early 20th century labor parade. We’ve got a busy month ahead of us
Gentlemen, you know what must be done. We ride at dawn.
Or… you could just… you know… stop using it.
Oh, I don’t, lol. That was more of a prediction than me saying that I’d be doing it. I never made a Twitter account. It already seemed shitty to me even before musk utterly destroyed it.
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
So he is that desperate already? His user numbers must be close to the ground to try this in the US.
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.
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.
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

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.
And why religion? The answer is: control.
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 ?
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.
Some workplaces do allow showing tits at work, but It’s not arbitrary. It’s imposed by societies norms.

In what way though? We see all kinds of sexual and suggestive displays everywhere in media because “sex sells”. I guess you and the people up voting you don’t use Instagram, which is essentially what Twitter is now trying to emulate via this rule change.
How can such a fundamental element of thr human experience can be so conspicuously absent for almost all art and media.
But it’s not? Every visual form of art has some kind of sexualized content. Go literally anywhere (online or off) and it’s there. The reason why the more overt and pornographic content is behind NSFW is because it’s titillating. Experiencing prolonged bouts of arousal is mentally exhausting and often leads to depression or worsens it, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10813043/#:~:text=Specifically%2C a higher and hyperstable,3%2C7%2C8].
It’s why looking at porn all day is not mentally relaxing, necessarily. Some people also find overt sexual displays distracting as all they want to do is focus without being stimulated into another direction. That said, there are plenty of video games, movies, art forms, music experiences which explore human sexuality. They’re fun because it’s stimulation at a time when you’re in the frame of mind for it.
I feel a lot of times when people talk about “something is like this” what they’re really saying “my experiences show that something is like this”, and that to me just indicates they need to broaden their experiences.
We’re missing sex positivity in modern US society with respect to women’s reproductive rights and acceptance of different sexual orientations or gender identities. We’re not missing sex or sexualized content.
As a foreigner, this is more of a US (maybe England?) thing in my perception (together with some Muslim and East cultures). The US was always a bit strange with sexuality themes.
The UK* is waaaaaaaaaaaay more open about sex and nudity than the US
Is this old news? There’s been massive dicks on there for ages.
Thank goodness.
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.
TIL Grimes wasn’t explicitly allowed to have butts, breasts and genitals before.
edit: oh… not his ex. just call it Twitter ffs.
It’s Twitter. It will always be twitter. It should never be called anything else. Put x.com in your browser and see what happens to the address bar. It’s twitter.
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.
The edit makes this seem unintentional, but this was the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time
if you look closely you can see that the comment wasn’t really edited; it’s part of the joke. I’m glad it made you laugh.
so he fucked up the whole platform so he has to raise money with porn? not suprised to be honest
Porn. Always good for the money.
Wait they took off the porn? There’s like always been porn on Twitter. I’m confused.
I suspect it’d go tumbling down hard and fast like tumblr. There’s a considerable amount of porn and hentai artists that seem to live exclusively off xitter
Am I missing something here? I thought X/Twitter always allowed NSFW content.
It had no specific rules for it or against it. It was just a secret rule that you could upload on it. Now it’s official ig.
It’s probably so he can say that it’s too hard to tell nude children from adults.
Well see, children are the ones that are still children. You can tell which is which by the way that it is.
That’s pretty neat? What a weird place to use a neature walk meme, but here we are.
Just add two more Xs and it’s complete
always been. Twiiter is much more like Xvideos than people know
I’ve literally never seen or heard of porn being on Twitter/X. This is news to me.
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.
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.
