    Commentary on the rampant double standards at play in attitudes to sex
    by the powers that be on the Internet <https://www.theverge.com/internet-censorship/756831/grok-spicy-videos-nonconsensual-deepfakes-online-safety>:

    In the fascinating new reality of the internet, teen girls can?t
    learn about periods on Reddit and indie artists can?t sell smutty
    games on Itch.io, but a military contractor will make you
    nonconsensual deepfakes of Taylor Swift taking her top off for $30
    a month.

    Information about sexual health gets caught up in the ?smut? filter,
    and creators of erotic content who try to do so for a living find
    their payment processors getting cold feet and freezing or terminating
    their accounts. Yet here we see carte blanche being given to
    large-scale production of nonconsensual and underage porn. Why? Just
    because the bllionaire (soon to be trillionaire) behind that service
    is too powerful to get on the wrong side of.

    A while ago, their "rules for thee" thing were only about copyright...I remember how fast those news about Meta sucking the libgen dry were
    brushed off.

    Doesn't mean they changed copyright for fake puritanism, they just
    keeping adding up. Sex is the new flavour.

    They're doing great damage handling the matter this way considering how underaged people learn and communicate nowadays. Mostly online.
