OF squashed competitors in the online porn industry with the help of a bizarre scheme that bribed Meta employees to throw thousands of porn stars onto a terrorist watchlist, according to a group of explosive lawsuits. Adult performers who sold X-rated photos and videos on rival sites saw their Instagram accounts falsely tagged as containing terrorist content crippling their ability to promote their business and devastating their incomes, according to the suits. Sellers of smutty pictures were then shadowbanned across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other sites, the suits allege. Targeted accounts also included businesses, celebrities, influencers and others who have nothing to do with terrorism, according to the suits. When I heard that my content may be listed on the terror watch list, I was outraged, Alana Evans, an adult performer and one of the plaintiffs in the California suit alongside Kelly Pierce and others, told The Post. I was angry because it affected my income when my social media traffic dropped significantly, and I was angry because I am the daughter of a veteran who fought for this country. Evans and others were all allegedly placed in a database of terror-linked accounts run by the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, or GIFCT, a nonprofit group intended to stop the spread of mass shooting videos and other terrorist content across social media sites.

After adult performers who used rival sites allegedly had their names added to the GIFCTs list, traffic to the rival sites drastically fell, the suits allege. Meanwhile, OF traffic and profits soared as the site became a household name. Law firm Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman is representing the plaintiffs in suits filed against Meta and OF. The lawyers claim they have acquired a list of more than 21,000 Instagram accounts they say were unfairly tagged as potential terrorists, previously unreported California superior court filings show. In a statement to The Post, Milberg partner David Azar called on Meta and the GIFCT to open up their records to help figure out whether our clients or their content are indeed on any databases intended for terrorists, and how to get them off. The suits which also name OF majority owner Leonid Radvinsky as a defendant claim the bribes paid off around October 2018, when people sold content through OF rivals were allegedly hit with a massive spike in content classification/filtering activity that limited their reach. Meanwhile, users of OF enjoyed a mysterious immunity to the crackdown, the plaintiffs claim. The blacklisting of plaintiff and others has caused OF to achieve a drastically enlarged market share while its competitors stagnated or declined, attorneys in a class action led by OF competitor JFF wrote in an August court filing in California state court. The defendants engaged in a scheme to misuse a terrorist blacklist to obtain a competitive advantage.

If you're talking about banning porn content they had to walk that back.

If you mean just allowing non porn content that's been there forever.

You'd think that after all this time it would take actual proof to get added to a terrorist watchlist. I guess not.

They can't mod you for a website name if it doesn't exist and doesn't contain any TOS-breaking words.

...and if they do it'll be hilarious.

OK, but what would happen if I advertised my adult website here on GameFAQs?

No nudity, just advertising it.

How about if I posted the full name of the adult website?

Yeah, you get my point.
