When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

IF YOU ARE GERMAN, YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR MEPs AND DEMAND THEY OPPOSE CHAT CONTROL

-RIGHT-
-NOW-

the link below contains individual emails and everything, PLEASE do not sleep on this!

Tuta @tuta.com · 13d

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

We want better content labels, NOT censorship. Use the feedback form to demand change

They've forgotten the only reason bsky exists is because nsfw artists, sex workers, & the trans community left twitter

Sketch depicting three artists standing on a platform surrounded by water that is breaking off and shrinking to an even smaller platform,
The two figures on the left are equally making the smug dream works face while both thinking “thank god I am normal, everyone else is so weird and porn brained.” The smaller devil Roxy on the right is on the verge of tears and a mental breakdown beseeching “has anyone noticed the fucking space shrinking under censorship”.

Hey y'all. Have you made your calls today? Or this week? You don't know where to call? Here's a handy graphic for you.

The more we let things pass, the more payment processors will censor. You can help in changing that by calling, sending mail, e-mail and being a general pain in the ass to them.

Think its stupid that VISA and Mastercard think something as innocent as Cat Ear accessories are a bannable offense?

Then heres something you can do about it. Complain to visa and MC, call your representatives.

Whenever sites come up with new rules like this I thing about how if you were a creator who was making something every bit on the level with a hugely popular and acclaimed series, would you be allowed to share it? Like, if you were sitting on the next Game of Thrones, you couldn’t share that here.
