Even as a SWer, I cannot stand accounts that parachute into someone else’s replies with explicit videos of themselves masturbating to promote their content. Coming onto my page to advertise your shit without permission? That’s digital scab behavior with a ring light. I don’t even post nudes of myself or anyone on my account and you’re going to post your spread vag with a dildo stuffed into it? Um no.
Miraculously, this is genuinely the first time it’s happened to me despite regularly interacting with OF creators, porn performers, and other SWers, which tells me most people already understand basic professional etiquette.
So, OF creators and porn actors/actresses: we’re all still in agreement that unsolicited porn spamming under other people’s tweets is tacky as fuck, correct? Especially when they’re doing it to accounts that aren’t even SW related?
Also this shit has consequences beyond being obnoxious. Spamming explicit masturbation videos under unrelated accounts only reinforces the stereotype that SWers are sexually indiscriminate degenerates who don’t understand boundaries, and feeds the disgusting narrative that we want to expose or groom children. Maybe don’t hand our loudest critics their propaganda for free.
Because sex work is work also means act like a fucking professional.
It's time to stop hiring women to announce games unless they look like porn actresses and have very skimpy outfits.
This fucking karen doesn't belong here, fucking hag.
🚨 Two years ago, I was detained in Paris by police for 3 days — the longest they can hold someone before charging them.
In an unprecedented move, French authorities accused the head of a major platform of crimes committed by its users.
That investigation is still ongoing, although it makes less sense with each passing year.
Why?
Because we now have extensive evidence that Telegram was neither worse than other popular platforms at moderation, nor the worst at cooperating with authorities.
So why was Telegram singled out?
Over the last two years, we have seen a pattern emerge in multiple countries: Telegram is quietly asked to grant political favors — such as illegal censorship or surveillance. When we refuse, local media and “non-governmental” organizations launch orchestrated campaigns portraying Telegram as a cesspool of crime, from child pornography to terrorism.
Our moderation is no worse than that of other major platforms. Yet these campaigns instill the idea that Telegram should be persecuted or restricted.
Suddenly, officials start caring about crime and protecting children — but only on platforms that reject their secret political demands. Platforms that accept such deals get away with almost anything — including literally selling ads promoting child pornography.
Is the French investigation against me political? It certainly fits the pattern we see elsewhere, mostly in authoritarian countries. And it definitely raises questions.
In time, this investigation may itself be investigated — especially now that Macron’s war against free speech is facing pushback. This month, France’s Constitutional Council struck down his social media ban for children under 15 on freedom-of-expression grounds.
In the end, freedom and truth will prevail ✊
