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! 😠

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.
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…
How long would it take to make it have above that threshold?
Probably by morning.
DDOS now means distributed distribution of sex, obviously.
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.
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.
Can’t wait for three days from now, when they roll that back in a panic.
nothing but goatse.
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
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.
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.
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.
I think it’s more a twitterix is dying thing, as user count was declining last time I checked.
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?

None of them are dead.
Just don’t criticize fascists and religious nut jobs. That’s OBSCENE! /s
Hey now, you’re allowed to call any blue-haired middle aged liberal democrat you want a fascist. And by all means, insist anyone who believes in climate change is a religious nut job. Elon won’t stop you.
Guess hes desperate enough to try anything to keep subs
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
That scans, last time I looked around on there it was almost exclusively dicks.
Must be your algorithm. It’s almost always filled with OF bots.
I don’t engage with it so I’m only getting whatever the default is :)
My school releases the buses and notifies people on Twitter. If not for that I wouldn’t be there at all
I am there every now and then to check valorant eSports news. Wish more people switched to mastadon.
They should ban male nipples.
Mipples
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.
