🚀 Buckle up, folks, because Social media network X is turning up the heat! They’ve just updated their rules to officially let users share AI-generated NSFW content—as long as it’s consensual and clearly labelled. That’s right, Elon Musk’s playground is getting even spicier, building on earlier experiments where adult content was hosted within specific communities.
X’s updated ‘adult content’ policy states: “We believe that users should be able to create, distribute, and consume material related to sexual themes as long as it is consensually produced and distributed. Sexual expression, visual or written, can be a legitimate form of artistic expression.”
They elaborate further: “We believe in the autonomy of adults to engage with and create content that reflects their own beliefs, desires, and experiences, including those related to sexuality. We balance this freedom by restricting exposure to adult content for children or adult users who choose not to see it.”
In practical terms, users can mark their steamy posts as containing sensitive media, making sure it’s kept away from users under 18 or those who haven’t provided their birth dates.
Now, don’t worry, X is still keeping the line tight on excessively gory content and depictions of sexual violence. They’re also keeping their ban on explicit threats or content that incites or glorifies violence. So, it’s not a free-for-all, more like a tasteful, consensual cabaret. 🎩
X’s decision to allow this kind of graphic content is partly to let users discuss current events with relevant images and videos, without going overboard. And hey, even though X never outright banned porn, these new guidelines could help develop adult-centric services. Who knows, maybe X will become a rival to OnlyFans, adding a new feather to Elon Musk’s dream of turning X into an “everything app,” like China’s WeChat.
A 2022 Reuters report cited internal company documents, revealing that about 13% of posts on the platform contained adult content. With the rise of porn bots on X, that percentage has likely shot up faster than a SpaceX rocket!
And now, for the grand finale—a joke to bring it all home: Why did the AI-generated NSFW content cross the road? To get to the other screen! 😂
So, get ready to label those posts, keep it consensual, and let your creativity fly on X!
