I endured SO much outright abuse - yes, abuse - from (white) liberals and "allies" all year for talking about SESTA/FOSTA. So yeah, I'm sure as fuck going to call their bluff on the "we'll do the work after the election" promise.

Why is Facebook prohibiting talking about being gay? Last year, they wanted to deflect attention from how they covered up Russia's interference in the 2016 election. So they lobbied Congress for a fake anti-sex trafficking law (which actually encouraged sex trafficking).

Last year, Facebook wanted to cozy up to senators - esp.
@SenBlumenthal, a Democrat - and convince them to stop investigating Russian election interference on Facebook. As a result, today, Facebook is prohibiting talking about being gay. This is the world we live in.Show this thread -
A lot of people (esp. tech folks) say they follow me because they appreciate me posting about gay stuff. Being my whole self, and all that. You do realize that when (not if - when) Twitter follows Tumblr and Facebook, I'm going to have to stop posting all that, right?

When (not if) Twitter follows Tumblr and Facebook with banning adult and LGBTQ+ content, I won't be able to post pictures like this anymore: https://twitter.com/chimeracoder/status/1036431930835841024 … Male affection is seen as inherently explicit. (See
@aphyr's tweet, linked above).

"But Aditya, how do you KNOW that straight people view male affection as explicit and inappropriate?" Well, I took that picture when a straight dude was so uncomfortable by us just sitting next to each other that he complained to the bride AT HER OWN WEDDING. So, yeah.

Even if I obscured the butt in the background, this would absolutely be forbidden either to post on Tumblr or to talk about on Facebook. Wearing a harness at
@FolsomStEvents? Could easily be interpreted as a "fetish scenario" (even though it wasn't).https://twitter.com/chimeracoder/status/1047228943487717376 …

It's nice to know that
@Pornhub is stepping up and providing a place for artists to share non-pornographic adult content. At the same time, I just want to post SFW selfies and talk about my normal gay life, and... I shouldn't have to use Pornhub to do that.

On a serious note: while many groups opposed
#SESTA/#FOSTA, the@EFF is the only group I'm aware of that's currently actively lobbying to repeal it or suing to overturn it: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/eff-sues-invalidate-fosta-unconstitutional-internet-censorship-law … If anybody knows of other coordinated efforts, please let me know.Show this thread
