France Moves to Classify X as an Adult Site Amid Digital ID Crackdown
-
France is moving to classify X as a pornographic website, a designation that would place it under the country’s mandatory age verification and digital ID laws.
This step, if finalized, would force the company to either implement robust age-gating mechanisms or restrict access to adult content altogether to avoid being cut off from younger users.
It would also mean that users have to show ID to access the platform, introducing major implications for privacy and free speech.

Fucking ridiculous. Might as well do the same for sites like Tumblr, Reddit, even Youtube. "Protecting" kids comes at the expense of everyone else.

This is kind of hilarious. Right wingers seek to limit privacy by forcing age verification online, and then the right wing social network gets caught in the same net. It hurt itself in it's confusion.

Annoyingly many artists still use it, and for some it's their only platform they post at any regularity, except for paid posts on patreon.
I haven't used Twitter as a social media site for almost a decade now, but my "twitter only" art list still has 18 people on it. -
