Why Lisa Ann wants sexually explicit content off of the platform
On her podcast, Lisa Ann Corpora expressed her concerns about sexually explicit content being accessible on Twitter for underage users. She notes that she is not against pornography but wants the content prohibited and calls it the ‘largest distributor of illegal content to minors.’
‘Something I really hope Elon Musk takes a step ahead and says, ‘we’re not doing this anymore’, and if we are, you’ll have to enter in your birthday, there will have to be an ID situation, there will be levels to this s***, that’s what I’m hoping.’ So my disdain for porn on social media has nothing to do with porn, other than the fact that you are sharing it on platforms that have no age gate.’

Corpora also believe adult content creators should not distribute their content for free on Twitter as it could be shared among users. However, Twitter does not allow users under the age of 13 to create an account but users are able to fabricate their own birthdate in order to have access to the platform.
“Twitter requires people using the service to be 13 years of age or older. If you signed up for an account before you were 13 years old, and now meet our minimum age requirement, you can regain access to your account by removing some data.”
Elon Musk acquired Twitter last month and cited concerns regarding free speech
After acquiring Twitter for $43 billion, Elon Musk said he believes in the idea of free speech on the platform and wants to eliminate bot and troll accounts from taking over.
“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated. I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.” Musk wrote in a statement.
The acquisition had users questioning the platform’s future as policies could possibly be changed based on Musk’s views on free speech on social media.
