Meta is funding all the age verification laws to create a global surveillance state of which they'll hugely benefit (absolutely serious)

🚨 ATTENTION ADULT CREATORS! Make sure you delete your Amazon wishlists before March 25th, unless you have a PO Box that you’re ok with being seen by buyers.

404 Media@404media.co

NEW: Amazon is telling people who use its wishlists feature to switch to post office boxes or non-residential delivery addresses if they want to ensure their home addresses remain private, as part of a change in how it processes gifts bought from third-party sellers.

The war on #debanking didn’t end, it evolved. After reputational risk was banned, institutions quietly replaced it with “financial risk” and “compliance risk.” We break down: • The Wise policy shift • The loophole • How regulators track complaints • Steps to push back

Age verification laws aren’t just about “protecting kids.” They’re about surveillance, data collection, and forcing adults to hand over sensitive info to access legal content. This @spectrum.ieee.org article breaks down the real tech risks behind age verification. spectrum.ieee.org/age-verifica...

💌 February is the month of love, and love inside the adult industry rarely fits into tidy boxes. It exists alongside stigma, disclosure, vulnerability, power, politics, and radical honesty. We asked creators directly about what love is like for them as SWers.

Significant legal victory today. Federal judge threw out two private lawsuits made possible by the Kansas age-verification law. Mom said her teen son accessed porn sites, wanted millions in damages. Judge said an out-of-state company can't be sued just because it's accessible in Kansas.

TN is considering a new bill that allows parents to sue large platforms that allow "material harmful to minors"— including sculpture, drawings, photos, music or video games— that describe or depict nudity, sex or "excessive violence" The censorship that started with "porn" is coming for everything.

🚨Many adult creators are reporting blocked transfers or restricted accounts on Wise, with messages citing: “We do not support transfers related to Adult Content.” This is from Wise’s updated TOS, which lists adult content as unsupported. For many creators, their work didn't change, the policy did.

We’re working on a guide to help creators report and document Wise #debanking. Because Wise supports international transfers, reporting and complaint paths can look different depending on where you’re located, but we’ll do our best to help you navigate the right next steps.

This isn’t about legality or wrongdoing. It’s a platform policy decision, often enforced automatically, that can cut off access to your own money with little notice. When fintechs change TOS, lawful creators can lose payment rails overnight, without a clear appeal or transition period.

SpankChain
@spankchain.bsky.social

Wise is UK-based and not subject to OCC oversight, which is why these restrictions often appear through TOS and fine print. If this is happening to you: you’re not alone, and you didn’t “do anything wrong.” This is a systemic issue, and it’s reportable.

More #debanking in our industry. The OCC has stated that lawful businesses should not be denied banking based on reputational risk, but many fintechs aren’t directly covered, leaving creators vulnerable.
