OnlyFans is a bigger threat to society than 10,000 Parlers.

And how long until my edgey, morally bankrupt idea gets banned because a few rich people decided to act as their own hired politician to do “what’s right” for us?

This is a slippery slope, we used it to silence a sitting president.. these same companies won’t hesitate to silence you

[TulliusCicero]

Apple has had minimum standards since the app store was made, so...since over a decade ago?

> This is a slippery slope, we used it to silence a sitting president..

Maybe if he didn't want to get banned from a platform, he should've avoided constantly lying and breaking the rules of said platform?

Like, you're literally suggesting "the president should be above the rules".

[o-__-o]

Nope. I am able to open my eyes and see that in the future this situation may be well exist again but under a different context. And we will point back to today as an example of why we should allow it.

PS if he was breaking rules of the platform for so long why ban him only after they know he lost the election? Seems to go along with my “powerful people make the rules” complaint.

[TulliusCicero]

Because he went further than just lying, and was also inciting violence.

Personally, I feel like they should've just banned him to begin with for all the lying, but being a private business, they have the right to decide who gets to speak on their own platform.

If you ban him before the election and he wins, then he has 4 years to retaliate against you.

Homophobic politicians are a bigger threat to society than 10,000 OnlyFans.

[o-__-o]

Let’s ban homophobic politicians from the App Store then. And AWS. And Twitter. Don’t worry we aren’t restricting their free speech, they can say whatever they want in the public square...

[TulliusCicero]

Correct. If Apple and Google want to do that, maybe it's a good idea, maybe it's not.

But it has absolutely nothing to do with the principle of free speech.

You have peaked my curiosity please explain? I have not used either app.

[shlant]

what do you mean by this?

[xwdv]

He means to say OnlyFans contributes directly to the fraying of America’s moral fibers.

[shlant]

If that is what the OP was inferring:

Personally, I think America is overly concerned with "moral integrity". Maybe it's due to the high Christian population.

I think many European countries that are very sexually open such as Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark are doing just fine. I also think that OnlyFans is an important service that gives sex workers the power to work for themselves in their own homes as opposed to having to make a living through less safe options. Customers get more personalized content and sex workers get a higher percentage of their payments while avoiding potentially physically or emotionally abusive situations - seems like a win-win to me.

[xwdv]

An America without concern for moral integrity would be a hellish place. People already lament about how American capitalism crushes souls and promotes rampant inequality, imagine if the last bits of moral obligation were to be removed.

And “doing just fine” is still debatable.

[TulliusCicero]

The more "moral America" of the past used to include beating up and arresting gay people at bars for the crime of being gay.

Good riddance, I say.
