I believe the FBI or other government agency is forcing YouTube, Instagram, etc. to close accounts of anyone connected to sex work (and others have agreed with me, including people that I hadn’t heard of before their comment). I believe “Omid” of Instagram fame is actually a group of FBI agents doing the government’s bidding to force sex work to the shadows. I hope I am wrong but that is my best guess and what my gut tells me to be true. At this point Alice needs to decide whether to open another YouTube account for her sex work videos but she definitely needs to open a backup account that she does not mention sex work on. As long as Trump and his buddies are in power this is what sex workers have to look forward to. BTW, I have seen some of her videos, none are obscene and none have nudity on them. My YouTube account was also closed recently and I used it as a commenting mechanism — never even posting a video. My comments were sometimes very explicit, sexually crude and non-PC enough that I think that got caught in the FBI dragnet as well. However, nothing had changed in my commenting from several years ago, if there were a more logical explanation I would have been warned and given an explicit reason why. I also did not receive a warning although they did adopt a new TOS as of December 10. I suspect that bans anything even remotely sexual on YouTube — I do need to read it thoroughly, though. I wonder how long before the FBI forces Twitter to kow-tow to their overly conservative and 1900’s prudish requirements. Long term, the industry needs to create its own YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr like accounts, hosted in some far-off country that won’t kow-tow to the US Government. That is the only long term solution if we want to have these services available for adult performers, escorts, etc. Kelli Roberts (a reporter on here) has mentioned several times on this very site that (paraphrased) the best option is adult-specific services like the above, credit card processors, banks, etc. This site may even need to be hosted off-shore before Trump’s “moral minority” get done with the industry.
