Basically, as long as it's not going to cause legal trouble to saidit, it's fine

Thanks! The problem is that it's hard to say whether it will cause legal trouble. Congress recently passed regulations called FOSTA/SESTA which create an exception to Section 230 that means website publishers would be responsible if third parties are found to be posting ads for prostitution — including consensual sex work — on their platforms. You can read more about it here:

Reddit closed a bunch of sex work related subreddits as a result, although they weren't especially consistent about it. They closed /r/hookers and /r/escorts, but /r/sexworkers and /r/sexworkersonly are still up. However, none of them allowed advertising. (In my opinion, Reddit closed /r/hookers and /r/escorts because they emphasized the client side, whereas /r/sexworkers /r/sexworkersonly emphasize the provider side).

IMHO, FOSTA/SESTA will eventually be struck down in the courts as an unconstitutional infringement on the first amendment. However, it may take a while for that to play out in the courts. Until then, there's legal uncertainty around the issue.

Interestingly, /r/asktransgender probably still has dudes giving hormone pills to minors.

Time passed since your post so I have the advantage of hindsight when saying we the courts ARE corrupted, right to the top and we can't depend on them striking down something just bc it's unconstitutional. Making the platform responsible for the things said on them is the same as making the phone co responsible for what you say on your phone. (A+ book on telecom history[The MasterSwitch,by Tim Wu] where this very thing did come up with earlier technology, and yes, they DID want to censor what you said) The first amendment/Bill of Rights are visibly missing their underpinning of legitamacy. WE ARE AT WAR. And those waging it will continue to censor, just as they always have. They will strip away all the rest just as soon as they finished with that pesky irritant, our 2A. They are taking direct 'aim'. So while we spend time talking about our Rights, they are busy with their NWO agenda, which seems to be moving along with remarkable, horrifying speed. Fake plandemic phase one, riots phase two, fraudulent elections, or even a disregard for them (since they can't win legitamately), who knows what will come between now and November. Maybe even an actual pandemic, to be released in October (Oct 19)? I mean, after firmly establishing CV is not going to intimidate, what better than to release an actual, super lethal, ebola like bioweapon to cut down the tens of millions of "useless eaters" already slated for removal (per GA guidestones, agenda 21, etc) They bankrupted hopsitals all over the USA, their usefulness will not be required in the near future, just crematoriums. One bit of positivity, the upcoming food shortage won't be as big a problem. It is really falling on American patriots to hold up this nation from total tyranny. The totalitarian boot is preparing to stamp on the face of humanity, and we're still discussing about our rights to talk about it? May your magazines be plenty, full, and close by, my friend
