Fair enough. But it also (I just checked) requires age verification like regular porn sites, so I don’t really get the raising of the treatment of twitter as some kind of double standard.
Do you mean that Twitter itself is not forcing all users to undergo ID verification, like for example Pornhub does?
Because that can be explained by the law not requiring a site which hosts adult content to go to those lengths if such content is not shown to those whose age is not reliably known. If you think the law is being applied unfairly maybe it would be worth being specific about what exact provision of the law is being applied to porn sites and not to twitter.
The OSA was always a shit law, but the fact that it has not forced twitter users to undergo ID verification is not reflective of that. It’s not a problem that the law doesn’t force all sites that host adult content to age-verify all users because those sites can instead just not show the adult content to those unverified users.
But because it’s a bad law, people will validate literally any complaint about it because it aligns with their other opinions.

They ARE NOT being subjected to the same age verification process as regular porn sites. That is the entire thing that we are talking about here.

Congratulations, you just caught up to where the rest of us started this discussion.
Right, so it’s being upset for no good reason.
