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.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

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.

If X becomes XXX does he gain more power? The more times his favorite letter appears, the stronger his dipshittery becomes!

Can't wait for three days from now, when they roll that back in a panic.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Do they still have enough staff on board to roll back anything?

Do they even have enough staff on board to panic?

Good luck peeling all copies of my balls off their chin of a website by then!

Well this makes sense. elon musk wants to be able to show his face on twitter/x. And he couldn't do that before, because elon musk is an ass. I'll say it again to really drive the point home.

elon musk is an ass.

elon musk is an ass.

elon musk is an ass.

I just wish Lemmy were popular enough that this would get back to him. People trashing elon musk (is an ass......sorry, it's habbit now) in a place that he can't buy because there's no singular owner. On a platform that would relentlessly boo him harder than that time he was onstage with dave chapelle.

I PROMISE you guys, whenever the republicans are done with this trump experiment, we're getting desantos vs musk in the republican primaries. Both have an ego that wouldn't let them be VP.

The only good news is that they both can't win. There CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!......shitbag.

elon cant run for pres anyway, he wasnt born in the US.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

??????

Where was he born? I'm unclear if this is some joke I don't get.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He was born in South Africa, his family ran emerald mines there which is where all his money came from

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I knew it was family wealth. I didn't know the source. I assumed it was partially built on exploitation. I didn't know it was fully built on it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

South Africa

Musk was clearly frustrated that X is only a third as sexy as any porn site. So he’s trying to compensate.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

Will be interesting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

So they are going from "Pussy in bio" to Pussy in feed?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait they took off the porn? There's like always been porn on Twitter. I'm confused.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Class, sophistication, and above all a sense of the dignity of the written word are all things that make Twi- I mean “X” - the foremost social media app on the Interwebs.

Now show us your naughty bits. Barely legal teens to the left.
