As if X wasn’t a cesspool enough, now it officially wants to be a major porn platform.
In a new update to its official usage policies, X said users can “share consensually produced and distributed adult nudity or sexual behavior, provided it’s properly labeled and not prominently displayed.”
“We believe that users should be able to create, distribute and consume material related to sexual themes as long as it is consensually produced and distributed,” X says in the update. “Sexual expression, whether visual or written, can be a legitimate form of artistic expression. We believe in the autonomy of adults to engage with and create content that reflects their own beliefs, desires, and experiences, including those related to sexuality.”
To be clear, X has had NSFW content for a few years now. Back in 2022, an internal review found that adult content made up 13% of all tweets. Before, users could flag adult content and get it removed. Now, creators have Elon Musk backing their content. We can only imagine how much worse the X experience is going to be from now on.
