Thoughts on Censorship and the Internet as a form of expression?

Twitter is, imho, in the beginning phases of nuking their NSFW content. Instagram is still descent but the glory days are long gone. Facebook, I can't even remember when NSFW content was ever allowed (unless it was gratuitous violence or other less savoury content).

What will NSFW creators use in the months and years ahead?

I just wanted to hear what others had to say on this issue. As well as hear thoughts on what the internet is meant to be and how it should be used, even with the filth that lurks in broad daylight or the shadows.

P.S. To Mods, I commited some faux pas today. Should have read the rules before hand but I promptly went and did so after the post I commented on was erased. So I apologise. Thank you for your patience.

TBH I was surprised Twitter was NSFW to begin with.

It wouldn't surprise me if Twitter were to eventually start censoring porn -- they already censor political content which is a lot less offensive than some of the NSFW stuff that appears there. Tumblr banned all NSFW content a while back, and it still seems to be doing okay, so perhaps Twitter would be better off letting sites like Pornhub take over that market share. But when you consider that the porn industry is a much bigger business even than Hollywood, well, that's a lot of money to let slip away. Basically it comes down to whether Twitter's higher ups think they can make more money with a family-friendly censored site or an anything-goes, take-your-chances, but don't-let-your-loved-ones-near-it kind of site.

Speaking of censorship, I have to say that even on Titsintops, which is otherwise a fine site, I find it a little disturbing that there are rules that prohibit you from even mentioning a model's name. How is that possible? I can understand not allowing people to post a model's photos and videos, but not even allowing people to allude to her? That seems utterly absurd and not even close to being legally enforceable . . . Some of these ex-models imagine they can somehow erase themselves from the web after making some really bad decisions in their past, but that's simply never going to happen, no matter how hard they try and how many letters they send. Often enough the harder you try to suppress something, the more likely it is to blow up in your face. I realize these models are often poor, ignorant, and pitiable, but they need to realize that there are limits to what they can ask other people to do or not do.
