    There are people who still don’t get that “XformerlyknownasTwitter” is a lost platform. And they still pay to get abused. As a dominatrix, she should be familiar with that concept.

      Twitter hasn’t actually really lost any daily active users, so I guess there never were any more than a handful.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    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.

    Twitter was one of the only social media sites that tolerated explicit content, and until Musk’s takeover, it was a thriving hub for sex workers to share resources, find community and promote their services.

    In replies to her post, she speculated that “they are trying to rid the app of SW [sex work] altogether.” Mara Villana did not immediately respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment.

    Under the EU’s Digital Service Act, the onus is on large online platforms like X to mitigate “risks to public security” stemming from disinformation.

    Graphic content purporting to be footage of the violent conflict continues to go viral, despite experts debunking the posts as doctored, fictional or from previous incidents in other regions.

    In his daily threads calling out misinformation on X, BBC journalist Shayan Sardarizadeh consistently debunks claims made by verified accounts, including one who falsely stated that Hamas had launched an airstrike on Israel.


    The original article contains 1,124 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 84%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      Yeah it’s definitely not a twitter only problem, the internet is getting so puritanical these days. Both Apple as you mention and payment processors using their influence inappropriately bear a lot of the blame.
