On Twitter, I just saw several tweets by a user exposing himself.

[ificandream]

I reported them, but I wonder how the Musk regime will handle them. I'm not confident they will.

[Farmer-Rick]

1. Yuck dick picks

Is it going to be a porn site?

[ificandream]

12. I wonder if Twitter will really care now with the Head Twit in charge.

[LW1977]

2. What it's turning into is a shit show

[brooklynite]

3. Did you not hear about the new paid video option?

[Blue Owl]

4. John Barron's "Open Bathrobe Collection"

[Talitha]

14. **SNORT**

[Sympthsical]

5. There's porn all over Twitter

All over.

Usually just gets tagged with that, "May contain sensitive content" thingy you have to click to see it.

I've heard about it in stories.

[FSogol]

7. "I've heard about it in stories."

[Sympthsical]

9. Tch, I'm a gay man

50% of my Twitter feed is attractive men and contestants from Drag Race.

It's been my running assumption that that's the most productive use of the platform.

[sir pball]

11. I can confirm this firsthand.

It's marked "explicit" and you have to click through to see it, but there is definitely hardcore, XXX, full and explicit penetration on Twitter.

Now, if it wasn't flagged as explicit, that's a different issue.

[Sympthsical]

22. I'm guessing people didn't know Twitter allowed porn

Well, there are worse things to learn in the course of the day.

People fleeing Tumblr had to go somewhere.

[chowder66]

25. There was a trending "Kansas City" the other day which is where I am from

I clicked on it to see why and there was a bunch of porn. Nothing was blurred or labeled explicit.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

6. Twas ever thus.

[RockRaven]

8. That is the sort of thing that companies are going to *love* appearing adjacent to their ads.

Well, it will serve them right if they do. They've had plenty of notice that the shitshow is incoming.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

10. Springtime For Incels...

[Mosby]

13. I've never seen porn on twitter.

I guess that's good?

[Bettie]

33. I hadn't until this week

so, something has changed.

[Talitha]

15. I don't use it; I've never wanted to; this seals the deal.

[Catherine Vincent]

16. There's always been porn on Twitter

I realized they usually use key words or a hashtag in front of a word or phrase. I was reporting them at first but it does no good. It's an innocent search and there it is.

[ificandream]

17. I guess I've just been lucky.

I don't use Twitter that often. Oh well...

[usonian]

18. Tumblr is re-instating adult content. Exposure is nothing new.

Tumblr reinstates adult content (but nonooky) with labels.
https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=17311497

Tumblr used to be "the" pornatorium, people say. )
One or more recent owners was scared off by recent legislation.
Seems that they lost a lot of views when the porn went away.
Can't imagine why

[Tree-Hugger]

19. Nudity is allowed on Twitter

Twitter has allowed nudity and porn for years. Many porn stars utilize Twitter as a way to drive traffic to their OFs and other sites. It's one of the only mainstream social media platforms that allows them to do so explicitly.

[stopdiggin]

20. I would hazard

that there's probably a deluge of 'quiet quitting' among the ranks of Twitter employees. In other words - the rules are still in place (Musk said 'no change' prior to review, from what I heard) - but a whole lot of human 'filters' are just saying "screw it." "This is what you want? Have at it!"

[Sympthsical]

23. It's always been allowed

I'm kind of delighted that people genuinely didn't know this.

It's so . . . innocent? I dunno. It's just kind of happily amusing in a way. There is so, so much porn on Twitter.

Place is filthy.

[stopdiggin]

24. Yes. I would be example 'A' of those

that simply do not know. My exposure is almost entirely right here on DU.

My comment might apply though to other types of 'rough' content that appears to have ramped up? (we've heard reference to an explosion of 'n' word usage?)

But, again - all guess work on my part.

[orleans]

21. i ran into that a couple times with the same guy posting them

i reported him and i remember twitter just shrugged.

i was surprised they didn't kick him off or delete his account. i can't remember if they took down the tweets or not. i didn't realize it was okay with porn.

i still didn't realize it until i read some of the posts on this thread tonight. and i'm on twitter every day -- but i'm really only reading and posting on political posts/threads and following people like jeff tiedrich.

[Polybius]

26. Nudity is allowed on Twitter

Facebook and Instagram should allow it too.

[Emrys]

27. You can set your account to filter certain content.

Go to ... More > Settings and Support > Settings and Privacy > Privacy and safety > Content You See, then make sure Display media that may contain sensitive content is unticked

That will hide some types of content, e.g. sexual or violent.

That may not block every rando displaying himself unexpectedly, but then I doubt I'd see him doing it twice uninvited, and I'd have probably blocked and possibly reported him the first time.

IIRC, you can also set your age as far as Twitter's concerned, but I can't recall where that setting is at the moment. Set it so Twitter thinks you're a minor, and that should put up another barrier.

[keithbvadu2]

28. Boebert campaigning on Twitter?

[Voltaire2]

29. Reporting isn't enough!

You need to speak to the manager.

[48656c6c6f20]

30. Twitter allows nudity and consensual sex acts.

However, being authoritarian pricks, the Nazi regime of Elonski Muskovite might outlaw undesirable sex acts.

[BlackSkimmer]

31. What would an "undesirable sex act" be exactly?

[48656c6c6f20]

32. You'd have to ask a Nazi like Elon or any republiQan neighbor

I just watch what they say and do and make a judgement of what they're capable of.

[sir pball]

34. Anything that involves non-vaginal sex, without contraception?

Sex isn't for pleasure, it's to make babies. Anything that isn't done according to that end is against Sky Fairy's will and is undesirable.

I'm not really kidding, that's how these people think.

[Emrys]

36. Something you enjoy, but I don't. (Joke) n/t

[demmiblue]

35. I remember clicking on "Bobby Millie Brown" when she was trending on her 18th birthday.

Some of the tweets were absolutely vile... you know, now that she was fair game. One dude videoed a close-up of himself masturbating and cumming on her picture (not hidden as sensitive content).

[Emrys]

38. Dear DU admin

I was browsing your site today, going about my usual business, when this image popped up ...

[AntivaxHunters]

39. lol It's of the Unite The Right Rally

If it bothers you THAT much I'll delete it.
I personally found it pretty hilarious myself lol

[Emrys]

40. It was a joke, in the context of the OP and ensuing discussion! It didn't offend me, but ... n/t

[AntivaxHunters]

41. I deleted it

Next time please clarify because sarcasm doesn't work well on the internet unless you put a "/s" behind what you're saying.

[Emrys]

43. I don't know that I'd have deleted it.

But I guess there was a chance it might have been alerted on, in which case you take your chances with a jury.

I thought heading my reply with "Dear DU admin" rather than going straight to an alert or PMing admin might have been enough of a clue that it was satirical. I could have written more in a suitably outraged tone, but I felt that would be labouring a throwaway quip and I have better uses of my time.

On the other hand, it's quite amusing that you thought I was being serious.

It's also amusing that anyone reading this thread now will be left wondering WTH you posted!

[allegorical oracle]

42. Have noticed that Elon's fingers are even shorter than TFG's. n/t
