Today, a German court has ruled against Mindgeek, saying that they must observe German age-verification laws despite being located in another country. Germany will now proceed to ban access to Pornhub, YouPorn, and My Dirty Hobby domains. https://t.co/n8dOGKYXjT
Many politicians, religious and reactionary groups are pushing for harmful legislation against sexworkers and the adult industry in Europe.
We must fight back.
This International Sex Workers Day, I want to take the opportunity to express my unconditional support to all sex performers currently based in Spain, where the government is once again threatening their safety with prohibitionist bills that claim to 'protect their rights'.
Today is #InternationalSexWorkersDay
Today and always we must fight for sex workers' rights.
We must #DecriminalizeSexWork now and everywhere.
We need to solidarize, work together within the sex industry, and speak with a unified voice against discrimination and stigma.
Bisher wird ein ineffizienten Kampf gegen kostenlose Pornoplattformen geführt. Dabei braucht es keine Verbote, sondern gute Alternativen. https://t.co/zfGosoXO7g via @tazgezwitscher
An extraordinary victory for sex workers and allies in Spain. We are so proud of their tireless work and to have played a small part in supporting them.
Consent is crucial, and nobody else gets to tell us whether we can give it or not.
Congratulations to our community 🎉
A French court has again rejected an attempt by French “family” groups to block 9 adult sites saying nationwide site bans are a last resort.
However, a more frightening suit, filed by French regulator Arcom, will be heard next week. @FSCEurope https://t.co/img1cMcdsf

Age verification is gaining traction around the world as the new means to restrict access to online pornography. A few comments by me, @PaulitaPappel and @Zemmiph0bia in this piece by @mattburgess1 about how this might go wrong.

As Germany moves to block adult content, @FSCEurope lays out the facts in a letter to KJM's Tobias Schmid: small creators without resources are the first to suffer.
More than 60 Twitter users in Germany have had accounts blocked, some with fines and threats of jail time.
