A machine can’t tell the difference between nudity and porn? Wow, I didn’t know that…

This needs to be included in the list of headlines we use to illustrate to later generations how totally stupid our timeline got.

A good alternative to the tawdry, exploitative, disgusting social media hive that is Facebook.

What amazes me is how the show ‘naked attraction’ can survive on youtube. It’s pretty NSFW.

I subscribed to the OnlyFans account of Michelanglo’s David, but all he does is just stand there.

Kind of a rip off.

Especially if AI learned from this fallacy

I know it when I see it

It looks like they want 4.99/mo to see the content. Sure does make you curious!

Venus of Willendorf? Porn? Seriously, this is about as fucked up as it can get.

[Shuck]

Everything wrong with the contemporary internet environment in one story…

This is great- until OnlyFans decides to be just as evil and prudish as Facebook. Again.

I want to say that is the lowest price that they can charge, for various reasons (cost of payment processor, running the site, etc.)

is forced to be just as evil and prudish as Facebook because banks are evil and prudish and won’t let people who make money from sex work have bank accounts or accept money transfers.

When tumblr decided to “ban prӨn,” which it most certainly did not - I wind up with new prØn bot followers almost daily,* it issued a statement of intent sort of thing. It claimed tumblr would never block actual artworks, specifically mentioning Michelangelo’s David as an example of what would never, ever be blocked.

Then this happened:

The tumblr user also posted the following screengrabs:

She was unable to see the original post on her blog, nor can I see any of my posts which tumblr deleted w/o giving me a chance to even ask for an appeal. I know damn well nothing I’ve ever posted re: the band The Fall was prÔnographical, but they disappeared a buncha my posts tagged “The Fall.”

Right around the same time as the above debacle was this debacle:

Meanwhile, the nazi blogs are still there, and so are the vaxxhole ones.

*I also frequently see so-called “sensitive content” tumblr blogs, which are prÕn. So they banned prÖn, but didn’t ban pr0n. Being in “safe mode” has no effect. Confused? You’re far from alone.
