WHAT IS NEW:

- Art and writing is included in these bans.

IRL content is fictional too, but previously bans like this have been about 'exploitation of models' (and other stuff).

This is PURELY now about sanitizing content. Writing especially has never been a target.

Dr Noone, University of Galway, points out the scandalous lack of expertise in the hatchet job ‘Cass Review’ in the UK. As independent experts examine the report they are finding more flaws, bias & an eschewing of scientific ethics, methodologies & evidence.

Developed by sex workers, this training will enhance participants' knowledge including
• Appropriate language and terminology
• Barriers, stigma, and discrimination experienced by sex workers
• Models of laws, what do sex workers want?

JFF the latest to ban content -- many kinks, topics, and hypnosis.

WHAT IS HAPPENING AT PAYMENT PROCESSORS Y'ALL.

Like you have to understand how unprecedented this is. SO MUCH content getting suppressed and nowhere for creators to turn. This is really bad!

Thanks for bearing with us as we and our partners in the LGBTQ+ sector have taken time to digest the content of the Cass Review's Final Report. In short: The Cass Review is bad science and should not be taken seriously by policymakers. Full statement: transactual.org.uk/blog/2024/04/1…

The Cass Review disregards years of evidence to make unethical and deeply damaging recommendations to further limit trans healthcare.

Trans children already face devastating challenges in accessing essential care.

fun fact! if a sex worker recreated this photoshoot for any of the major clip/fan/streaming sites then it would trigger an account suspension

Winning activist of the year in 2019 for my work on shadowbanning was a huge honour - always love to come back to the Sexual Freedom Awards, this time not just as a judge but also as a guest performer :) tickets still available!

Hey porn nerds, does anyone have data showing if the revised Mastercard/Visa rules have actually impacted the amount of non-consensual material people try to upload or not? I suspect it hasn't, but some numbers from platforms/moderation stats would be helpful!

Sta Teresa is my favourite Santa, and her collected sayings are better than most motivational quotes. Also she was a reformist and great at pretending to be dumb whilst dripping holiness, which is a very special skill.

never forget that one of the first 'pro-gay' court rulings in the US was defending the rights of gay men to buy, distribute and consume erotic material. the history of porn is inextricable from the history of queer freedoms.

Huge congratulations to strippers in Washington who have campaigned so successfully to enshrine their rights & protections at work.

The bill, written by the workers, included a cap on predatory fees and anti discrimination protections.

Solidarity, up the workers! ✊

Oooooh gonna tuck into this tonight with a nice glass of wine

I’m so grateful that I got to discover this today - I guess there is a silver lining even for anti-intellectualism

Adding it to the reading list immediately

Deeply worrying that the majority of the debate concerned the insufficient oversight and accountability for the IPA system *as it is*, for which the answer was...voting down the proposals that would have remedied that, but still ratcheting up the surveillance powers.
