Wow, that seems like a sign of desperation, doesn't it? I wonder how the other backers of the Twitter deal feel about financing pornography. This includes Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays, MUFG, Société Générale, Mizuho Bank, BNP Paribas, and the KSA.

What a world we live in that allowing NSFW content is seen as desperation, while monetisation through ads isn’t.

Yes, a world we've lived in for the past 100+ years.

Probably great? Looks like this will end up with better labeled risque material.

Isn't this just the codification of the long standing status quo? X has allowed nudity for as long as I've been a user.

Maybe they want people to stop reporting the "nudes in bio" Thot Bots? They are explicitly allowed now so you can't complain.

Kinda nice actually. This is like the one thing Musk has done at Twitter that I agree with. I think sexuality is a normal part of life, we shouldn't be so fussy about it (within consent obviously). It's not even always for money, many people just enjoy it sharing their content. However it should be behind a filter of course. Just like reddit does. So those who are interested can view it and the rest can avoid it.

Pornography is damaging to society/to those that view it. https://news.byu.edu/intellect/pornography-use-at-any-level-... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9922938/

Any studies from non-religious sources?

It seems desperate because, for example, KSA is the second largest investor in X.

Porn is illegal in KSA. So this is going to get a bit awkward.

>. the research found that pornography use by men or women at any level negatively impacted romantic relationships

What if you don't have any, and nowhere to get? What if you're 14 and realistically any serious romantic relations are many years in the future for you?

NSFW has always been allowed on Twitter or you would have to erase half of the artist community.
