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! 😠
/s
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.
DDOS now means distributed distribution of sex, obviously.
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?
I don’t think their enough books in existence to balance out that much porn.
Save every page as a RAW image file. Then take an 8k video of each page of the book on paper, slowly enough to read them. Problem solved.
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.)
Time to create an account
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!
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
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.
So he is that desperate already? His user numbers must be close to the ground to try this in the US.
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.
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”
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.
The eradication of human sexuality from mass media culture is a clear sign of intense rot at the heart of our civilization
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.
You are misunderstanding the meaning of the paper you linked; it is not referring to sexual arousal but rather the psychological state of hyperarousal aka the fight-or-flight response. These are two very different meanings of the term “arousal” and are not at all interchangable.
I am not misunderstanding it, heightened emotions = arousal, and sexual stimulation leads to heightened emotions
You are misunderstanding it. Don’t worry though, yours is a common misunderstanding! So common, in fact, that the Wikipedia article on arousal starts with, “not to be confused with sexual arousal”.
In psychology, “arousal” is a technical term and not all arousal causes harm. In fact, many forms of arousal are quite healthy. Being awake, for example, is a type of arousal and most people stay awake for 16+ hours per day without issue.
Now, you are correct that sexual arousal is a type of arousal, but there is no reason to believe that sexual arousal would cause the pathology of arousal that is discussed in the paper. In fact, the specific section you linked refers to “hyperstable arousal regulation” which refers to a tendency for a person’s level of arousal to remain too constant over time rather than varying appropriately to the situation they are in. And on top of all that, causation is not indicated. There is no reason to believe that the arousal is causing the depression rather than the other way around.
I know :) I’ve done research in affective psychology. I was connecting the thread from arousal (in general) to sexual arousal. I think my follow up post shows that logic in a pithy one liner
Got it and thanks for clarifying. I also amended my last comment since I had a bit of extra time to read the study more thoroughly. I’d be quite interested to see which way the causation goes. Although I suspect that hyperstable arousal may be a symptom of depression rather than a cause of depression, I have heard that the intense adrenaline rush of skydiving may alleviate depression for some people. To me this suggests there may be a way to break out of that hyperstable arousal state by intentionally reaching a state of extremely high arousal, perhaps ending a bout of depression early.
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
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.
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.
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.
Just add two more Xs and it’s complete
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
So since Deviantart, Imgur, and Tumblr died by banning porn, he’s hoping X will come back to life!?!?
No thanks, the fediverse is better at it, with way less nazis and tankies, those that are here are in their own containment zones.
Twitter is way better for certain topics. I haven’t been able to find the quantity or quality of OSINT stuff almost anywhere else at the level that Twitter has it.
If you want to know what’s happening on the ground day to day in Ukraine or Middle East, there’s no better place (edit: I lied. Telegram is pretty good, I forgot when I was writing this)
Like there are people who geolocate pictures to determine GPS coordinates and then get satellite scans to determine the effects of missile strikes or what have you
Foe example remember the Iran missile/drone salvo? There was an Israeli response to it? Claimed they blew up some Iranian radar for an air defense system with a missile?
Satellite images showed that was a lie. The damage on the ground implied only a small explosion that looks like other drone explosions. I only knew about it because I was on Twitter following specific people.
There’s a lot of shit you have to tread through, lots of bots and spam and crazies and propaganda accounts and what have you
But if you look around there’s a lot of gems
X is… dead? That’s news to me.
As of 2023, there are approximately 556 million active monthly users on X. As of April 2024, X receives around 6.1 billion visits per month.Apr 25, 2024
What… reality do you live in?
How many bots.
Probably very hard to know given that Musk had to buy the company to find out.
Well now he owns it so should be easy for him to publish that.
But then those who carry musky water for him probably wouldn’t be able to do so.
I could be wrong, but I thought Elon had a campaign to eliminate bots from X? Not sure if that ever took place though or if it’s in the process of.
Cool.
But until you call tell me how many bots, your claim isn’t evidence that it’s actually as active as you imply it to be - at least by humans.
No one knows. Apparently all the bigots on X are the bots.
That’s the best that has been done /shrug
Plus, who really gives a fk about X if you’re not even using X? I don’t know why the hardon for the community size of X.
Glad I got to see this comment before the Lemmy hivemind downvoted you to oblivion for posting data that contradicts their world view!
Wasn’t the user count declining?
I think it’s more a twitterix is dying thing, as user count was declining last time I checked.
Deviantart, Imgur, and Tumblr died by banning porn
None of them are dead.
Cunt talks just like trump and other right wingers.
“We do it best. By far. No one can compare to us. We do it better than anyone.”
Which is always a lie.
It also exploits repetition bias, which I’m sure is 100% intentionally coached into these fucks
