Iwanko 🔞 STOP ALL porn bans! @rockywanker.bsky.social · 15d

To give you an idea of how much they "care" about protecting children online.

Out of all states that have approved an age/ID verification bill, none have exemptions for CSA victims to access support groups. MO only forces adult sites to show a helpline number.

(Source: Free Speech Coalition, GPB)

Map of the United States.
Colors for bill consequences:
In red: Risk of chilling effect, children may be blocked off CSA and self harm support groups.
In purple: Has limited mention for support networks, but no exemptions.

Colors for status:
In green: Bill blocked in this session.
In yellow: Pending.
In gray: No active bill in this session.

Reminder: Oppose and repeal all the age/ID verification laws. They're not protecting their kids but they are censoring you and demanding your personal info.

Tell them to stop.
Tell them to get rid of this shit.

There are still people at conventions telling me, "They won't ban porn!" but these ID verification laws already have. Because there is no federal, safe and secure way to make those verifications happen; we will simply see site shut down or ban porn all together. You have to be realistic.

DCS 🔞 @darkchibishadow.bsky.social · 16d

Finding out that so many people have purchased my books but never backed them up anywhere safe?! People really thought porn wasn't in trouble, huh? They really thought that Itchio could go on forever with anti-porn bills breathing down our necks... 😭

I am not some fictional character. Gross loli art victimizes no one, and my experiences are not the same.

I’m a real person. I was a child who was abused and trafficked and I deserve to have my humanity and trauma recognized, not treated like it’s the same as a gross sketch of character. @bsky.app

A reminder too that bsky’s new guidelines literally forbid “illustrated CSAM.”

That doesn’t exist. There is no victim in a drawing (unless it is a drawing a real actual person).

“Drawn CSAM” is an insult to every survivor everywhere. It literally dehumanizes us as being the same as an anime OC.

Rose (\(ㅇㅅㅇ❀)/) @rosedees.bsky.social · 15d

soo many people have never worked out the reason CSAM is illegal, it requires a victim to make. this obviously wouldnt apply to fiction. fundamentally we dont CENSOR csam, but simply collect and contain all that to stop FURTHER exploitation. csam is not artistic expression it is blackmail/a weapon.

you can spin literally any sexual image as noncon or dubcon if someone dislikes you enough and wants your account banned. that will only be used as another tool ppl can use for harassment, not keeping blsky a sexually safe space

The restrictions Bluesky is trying to implement on fictional content is idiotic and can very easily be abused by moderation teams. We’ve seen it happen on tumblr already with queer content constantly being flagged after the porn ban. No one wants this.

Much more helpful than a blackout! Maybe get a tag trending on it? #bskycensorship

Instead of a posting strike, I think we should all change our profile pictures to something that reflects our anger and outrage over the changes to the Bluesky community guidelines. A suggestion:

stop #bskycensorship

running away to another platform is not going to do anything except delay the inevitable. we have to stand strong and show that we will not tolerate this.

send feedback. post about it. tell @bsky.app @support.bsky.team why the new policies only fuel unfair censorship

Anthropomorphic dip-pen and inkwell stand infront of a table stacked with books. Pen holds a sign with '18+' drawn on the center, with a heart around it. Inkwell is holding a paper colored rainbow with 'LGBTQA' upon it. Inkwell is holding a hand up in a 'stop' motion. Behind the table is the vague sense of a crowd also holding signs. Above image it reads: "CARTOONISTS Against Adult Content CENSORSHIP"

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”

www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Petition EN7799 - Stop VISA and
MASTERCARD from dictating access to Legal Content.
Petition Status
The petition is currently open for signatures
OPEN
CLOSED
一雪一〇
PRESENTED RESPONDED
Petition Reason
VISA and MASTERCARD control the payment processor market, in a monopoly, that is not regulated in the least. These companies openly dictate access to services, sales, or operations, of legal items, or legal businesses, based on their own political views. Credit Card Processors should only be there to process legal transactions, and not dictate what someone spends their money on. VISA and MASTERCARD are so big and control a market that can be equated to a utility. There are no alternatives widely available in the market, despite these companies acting as a key part of all payment infrastructure. just like water companies or electricity providers are regulated to prevent them from stopping service based on arbitrary views,
VISA and MASTERCARD should be held to the same standard.
