“I honestly don’t understand why X is targeting porn content on this site when there is dangerous misinformation, racism and bigotry freely flowing from this site,” she said. She had to “go PG rated” with her X content, and only saw a marginal bump in her post views when she started engaging with users outside of the NSFW community. She said that she’s “not happy” about paying for X Premium because it only boosts views on her replies to other people’s posts, not on her own posts. “It was the word that triggered it I think, because the nudity is blurred out,” Alleria said. In white text over the bar, the image said “NO PUSSY FOR BETA LOSERS.” The image, which was reviewed by TechCrunch, was a heavily pixelated shot of Alleria’s crotch, which was further obscured by a black bar. Twitter allowed consensual pornographic content, but X’s sensitive media policy forbids adult nudity and sexual behavior, which it defines as media “that is pornographic or intended to cause sexual arousal.” The policy applies to full or partial nudity, simulated sex acts and sexual acts depicted by “cartoons, hentai, or anime involving humans or depictions of animals with human-like features.” Under X’s policy, even suggestive imagery is flagged as sensitive media.Īlleria, a dominatrix who subscribes to X Premium, said one of her posts was flagged even though it didn’t contain explicit nudity. X is flagging ALL creators, EVEN THOSE WITH BLUE TICKS, who have even slightly sensitive material (my account was flagged because of my ass) and putting a label on them and… /MYGLR1WbDk įor those of you with NSFW/SW accounts wondering where your engagement has gone to. Paying for a subscription, even if they didn’t support Musk’s changes to the platform, was essential for many sex workers to avoid being deplatformed. Sex workers were quick to adopt Twitter Blue in hopes that the boost in engagement would shield them from the shadowbanning and disproportionate censorship that they’re typically subject to on social media. “I thought it would help my engagement but now I feel like it’s a waste of money,” Mistress Rogue continued. Mistress Rogue is one of many sex workers who want to cancel their subscriptions because of the punitive measures X is taking against adult content. In screenshots shared with Rolling Stone and posted online, X told flagged accounts that their posts may be obscured with a warning to prevent people from seeing sensitive content, and that they may also be excluded from the For You and Following timelines, recommended notifications and trends. Sex workers said their engagement tanked and their accounts no longer show up in X’s search, even if they weren’t notified about being flagged. This week, X started flagging NSFW posts as “sensitive material,” as Rolling Stone reported, and restricting flagged accounts to limit their reach. Under Musk’s leadership, X has become increasingly hostile toward nudity and explicit content. It’s also supposed to give posts that verified users interact with a boost in engagement, according to X’s Help Center. For a $7.99 monthly fee, the service promises prioritized rankings, ranking replies from verified users higher than replies from non-verified users. X Premium, the subscription previously called Twitter Blue, was supposed to grant users more than just a blue check mark. “It has done basically nothing for my Twitter engagement,” Mistress Rogue told TechCrunch over DM. But paying for the service didn’t protect her from X’s crackdown on explicit content, which is a particularly hard blow for sex workers on the platform who have few options to promote themselves elsewhere. When X (formerly Twitter) launched paid subscription verification, Mistress Rouge, a professional dominatrix, hoped that it would help her advertise to new clients.
