#2So, 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...

#3Well, I expect that Twitter will now be banned by every corporate filter in existence.

#4Wow, 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.

And possibly the Apple App Store?

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

#7First Twitter Blue, next Twitter Pink?

#8Kinda 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.

But it does change the whole feel of a site and make it not palatable to large swaths of users. Because it's one thing if you can say "I just won't follow porn accounts" – it's a whole other thing if the feed is also algorithmic. So now there's a non-zero chance that scrolling through will result in something pornographic? For the record, I have no issue with that type of content, but there's a sense of "time and place" and having it separated.
If not properly gated (via special accounts that can be filtered out, etc, or profiles that have ratings baked in), this can become a mess very quickly.

Would not be hypocritical at all, bet those execs never watch porn.
