When X (formerly Twitter) launched paid subscription verification, Mistress Rouge, a professional dominatrix, hoped that it would help her advertise to Sex workers bought Twitter Blue in hopes that it would protect them from being shadowbanned and deplatformed. Under X's new nudity policy, they're being censored anyway.

It’s an unpopular opinion, but… It’s Ironic to criticize X on porn in fediverse. The same fediverse that is obsessed with banning instances for porn. Remember Switter? An instance, made for sex workers. What happened to it? Banned by almost all major instances, forcing them to shut down. Or how Lemmy instances defeserate NSFW instance. At least X doesn’t do these shenanigans.

P.S.: if any company is to be blamed for limitation on sexual content is Apple.

Yeah it’s definitely not a twitter only problem, the internet is getting so puritanical these days. Both Apple as you mention and payment processors using their influence inappropriately bear a lot of the blame.
