> First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/first-porn-now-skin-cream-age-verification-bills-are-out-control

People are all like, "well, it's porn, fuck e'm." Suddenly now it's the skin cream or something that affects them, and still most fuckbagels online are "meh".

Oh great, now Firefox is participating in the #Pornocalypse now? I will never understand why people hate sex so much, or porn. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/acceptable-use/

Pedantic side note about the Trump sucking Musk's toe's fake that played in the HUD building the other day. I've seen people on here, and apparently the BlueSky moderators (briefly), claiming it was sexually explicit.

It's literally not. Do you see genitals? I don't see any genitals.

It's sexually IMPLICIT.

That's why it works as mockery. It's a superficially non-sexual act (toe sucking) from which we infer a kinky sexual relationship.

@june_thalia_michael Nicht nur dort

Die Gesetze, die #Ofcom durchsetzen soll, sind eigentlich nur die UK Variante der Pläne der Kommission #vonderLeyen bei uns. (Trotz Brexit gibt es hier wie dort genau dieselbe Politik, nur mit anderen Namen.)

Und auch das offizielle "Jugendschutzprogramm" Deutschlands #JusProg sollte man kennen:

@vagina_museum I used your screenshot as a conversation-starter on my blog to solicit experiences from my readers about the adult-content moderation on BlueSky. I've heard it's bad -- and that BlueSky is fundamentally a pornocalypse platform -- which is why I'm not on there myself.

Quoting a mutual with no context:

"Tumblr had some good stuff, until the Payment Processor Nation attacked."

@mindpersephone Precisely. Sometimes banning just looks like an endless series of escalating "safety" "regulations" "for the children" until we're to the point where the same five #pornocalypse platforms that already have 90% of the internet traffic are the only ones who can afford to fuck with the regulatory regime, and they do that mostly by locking down their platforms with ban-happy AI moderators.

@autonomysolidarity Bei der Gelegenheit sei auch an die #Zensur durch die sogenannte #Jugendschutz Software #JusProg erinnert, die Anfang des Jahres bekannt wurde.

Zahlreiche progressive Aufklärungsseiten wurden durch das Programm blockiert, ohne dass die Eltern davon wussten.

Zudem steht auch im öffentlichen #Bayern WLAN allen Nutzer*innen weiter nur das durch #JusProg gefilterte Netz zur Verfügung.

If you read the linked article closely, internal signals at Google are "we're going all in on AI, and won't be a search company any more so much as an AI-fueled recommendation engine" and "Everything we do has to be filtered through an intense desire not to piss off the major brand advertisers".

Those are PURE DEATH for porn and adult conversation (also the whole universe of LGBTQ+ discourse) because every corporate AI has #pornocalypse built into its bones and major brands consider us poison.

1) AIs are taking over the "search" experience.

2) AIs are expen$ive. Corporate tools with #pornocalypse designed in.

3) AI #search is vanishing #internet #porn. Online #adult stuff will still exist, but undiscoverable, unsearchable, unmonetizable, #shadowbanned everywhere. SUPER marginalized.

4) They've already showed us: to corporate #AI, porn includes #gay stuff, #trans existence, #sex education, #sexual #health, anything #queer or #kinky.

In order:

1) orgs got their cloud accounts jacked to run AI sexbots;

2) @briankrebs wrote it up: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/10/a-single-cloud-compromise-can-feed-an-army-of-ai-sex-bots/

3) Krebs posted it to LinkedIn, where some AI summarizer auto-added a graphic to it;

4) Another LinkedIn #pornocalypse AI then REMOVED the post/story for "adult nudity"; https://kinkyelephant.com/@briankrebs@infosec.exchange/113243834320160608

5) The tone police then came after Krebs for not posting a CW or NSWF tag with the story. https://kinkyelephant.com/@briankrebs@infosec.exchange/113244201140586174

Pornocalypse eats the entire world!

@briankrebs #Pornocalypse comes for the cybersecurity reporter whose story had "sex bots" in the headline

In my circles there's a lot of talk about all the resources (which include a ton of erotica and porn) that are vanishing or have already vanished from the open web as pornocalypse and the general decline of independent websites take their toll.

This 404 message spotted on a blog (now defunct of course) back in '08 is apropos:

Bored with my paying work, I asked Gemini (a pornocalypse LLM) to "compose a love sonnet as if Han Solo saw Princess Leia Organa taking a shower." I got... SCOLDED!

One search I monitor in Google is "sex blog" to see where ErosBlog ranks: a basic health meter showing #pornocalypse changes at Google in real time (+/- a few days).

After changing the ErosBlog tagline to "the sex blog of record" I realized some old SEO cruft was interfering with Google's snippeting engine. Clearing that out, I got a new snippet about two hours later.

Google's snippet-picking (presumably AI powered) has gotten better. Sex-blog relevant, from DEEP in the middle of a post!

@me @amy Thank you! It's actually not a bad description, especially given how I use ErosBlog so often to record names and dates and blow-by-blows of stuff like #pornocalypse events that nobody else much is paying specific attention to. And I can't tell you how often I refer to my own old posts to figure out when/why/where/what about some sex-related discourse from long ago.
