As almost every other popular social media platform has either banned or limited ad revenue for adult content creators, X, and its predecessor, Twitter, hashave rightly allowed sex workers to continue making a living. Consensual pornography is not some lude form of clickbait but rather an economic lifeline for sex workers. X should continue its tradition of offering a safe and reliable marketplace for the industry.
Pornography is a destructive force that negatively impacts our brains, artificially alters sexual taste, and ruins relationships. While legally banning it has not proven effective, that doesn't mean the digital town square should be promoting it. People used to have to search for such content on the internet's fringes of the internet, but now, even children are bombarded by it in their social media feeds.
