X has new rules that officially allow porn

Re: X has new rules that officially allow porn
#42So, are states like Texas, which need age verification, gonna ask for it for X too? This could get pretty wild considering the whole bot situation and the way Red States are handling adult content these days...
This could be a fascinating development to watch actually. Made much more interesting too by the fact that Elon has a lot of business in states like Texas and Florida. X is also increasingly viewed as a "right wing"[1] place, which might make states like Texas a lot more sympathetic to their "free speech" position because they won't feel like it's a "left wing" tactic to poison minds.
[1]: I'm not saying it is a right wing place, I have no idea as I have no data (not even anecdata because I don't really use it), but I've certainly noticed an uptick in people sharing that view on sites like HN since Elon took over. Have also heard that there is a decent balance of viewpoints on X. My guess is that both are probably true (and are not mutually exclusive), but again I have no data.

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?

Also those only focus on the user. The pornography business itself is a lot more horrible as it's closely linked with sex trafficking.

>. 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?
Do you think a 14 year old should be regularly viewing porn? Is that really the argument you are trying to make?

And possibly the Apple App Store?
App Store allows and contains plenty apps with NSFW content.
Are you sure about that? Is it a recent rule change? I know a person whose app got permanently denied because it had "adult content" in it. It's definitely possible that there is more nuance that I'm not aware of, or that they changed the rules

Are dedicated porn sites like PornHub and friends considered somehow left wing?
Or is it just that their NSFW freedom of speech isn't significant because it's not to the benefit of a billionaire that these politicians happen to like.

Past research ([1]) has shown that Twitter disproportionately boosts right-wing political content. Qualitatively, you can find whatever you want there, but Elon Musk's personal connection with and admiration for a number of right-wing individuals makes them stand out. In particular, Twitter under Musk has a clear pattern of not applying its moderation policies to high-profile accounts; in the current year, it is right-wing politicians who most frequently post hateful or blatantly false information, so failing to hold them to a normal standard amounts to a tacit approval of what they're posting.
Re: X has new rules that officially allow porn
#49Kinda 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.
NSFW has always been allowed on Twitter or you would have to erase half of the artist community.
That didn't stop Tumblr.

Man this being downvoted seconds after being posted speaks volumes about how ubiquitous porn sickness on a site supposed to satisfy iNtElLeCtUaL cUrIoSiTy So man cooomers ITT it's just sad.
Citing BYU as a source is the issue as any other conclusion of a paper would run counter to the code of ethics for faculty there.
https://policy.byu.edu/view/rank-and-status-policy
> Expectations of Professorial and Professional Faculty
> 2.1 Faculty Standards
> BYU is a private university with unique goals and aspirations rooted in the mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a faculty member’s responsibility to contribute affirmatively to the full realization of human potential and to a university environment enlightened by living prophets and sustained by those moral virtues which characterize the life and teachings of the Son of God (see Mission Statement). Faculty members should also provide students an education that is spiritually strengthening, intellectually enlarging, and character building and that leads to lifelong learning and service (see Aims of a BYU Education).
