Imgur is getting ready to eradicate a great deal of erotica from the web. Reddit’s go-to site for sharing pornography will be automatically deleting all adult material.
On May 15, 2023, Imgur, an image-hosting website known for hosting much of the adult content posted to Reddit, intends to prohibit any nudity or sexually explicit material. In the Terms of Service statement banning adult content, the website stated that users must download/save any images they wish to keep if they no longer abide by these Terms. Most prominently, this would involve explicit/pornographic content. To further this, Imgur will be using automated tools and human moderators to purge the site of adult content. The company noted that automated detection software would be used to identify explicit content; though, it is aware of the limitations and issues with relying solely on automated detection, so human moderators will also be utilized.
Most people associate Imgur with Reddit, as it is where many Reddit users host images. These can range from memes to DIY projects and a great many pornographic images and gifs in the myriad of Reddit’s adult communities catering to a variety of interests. The policy change brings Imgur’s Terms of Service in line with its Community Guidelines. Back in 2019, Imgur stopped supporting NSFW subreddits and age-gated adult content and made it “hidden,” but it did not remove any adult content or prevent people from posting it.
The new Terms of Service explain what is no longer allowed on Reddit, and it appears to be tight compared to other online platforms, especially Imgur’s previously lenient policy. Starting May 15, Imgur will no longer permit the gratuitous or explicit display of breasts, buttocks, and sexual organs meant to stimulate erotic feelings, comprehensive or partial nudity, any depiction of sexual activity, explicit or implied, any image taken from or of someone without their knowledge or consent for the purpose of sexualization, solicitation (the unwelcome request of sexual content from another person, or selling/offering explicit content and/or adult services).
Adult content communities on Reddit can easily transfer to other image-hosting sites from this point onwards (RedGifs.com is a popular service in those communities already), but the Imgur policy change should, in theory, erase years of adult content from the web. Much of that content is stolen from adult entertainers but also consists of images and gifs posted by creators to promote their OnlyFans, ManyVids, and other monetizable channels.
Imgur referred to porn as bad for business in its announcement of the change. “Explicit and illegal content have historically posed a risk to Imgur’s community and its business. Disallowing explicit content will allow Imgur to address these risks and protect the future of the Imgur community,” it specified.
“We recognize that these transformations may be disruptive to Imgurians who have used Imgur to store their pictures and artwork,” Imgur said. “These alterations are a significant move in Imgur’s continued attempts to remain a secure and enjoyable space on the internet.”
Octav Moise Set To Retire From Industry; Sells Paxum Brand And Assets
Octav Moise clarified exclusively to BCAMS Magazine that he sells the Paxum brand and the assets. This sale was not related to the controversy surrounding Paxum Bank in Russia. PAXUM Bank and Paxum Inc. are not part of the same group and are not connected in any way, offering independent services and operating in different fields.
“It has been both a privilege and a pleasure to lead the development of Paxum into one of the premier global payment platforms,” he said. “I have truly enjoyed working with so many talented and devoted colleagues, and building long-term relationships with our clients. I am proud of our many accomplishments and I look forward to making a smooth transition with as little disruption as possible to the positive momentum that Paxum has established.”
Moise has been at the helm of Paxum for 16 years. Under Moise’s stewardship, Paxum has won multiple Awards for Payment Services Company of the Year. Currently, “he is enthusiastically pursuing business in the renewable energies field,” said a rep.
He went on to add, “I know I’ve made a difference with Paxum, and I’m satisfied I’m leaving Paxum in capable hands moving forward. In fact, I’d like to take this moment to acknowledge and thank my many friends, clients, colleagues and the entire industry for all the support and memorable moments we’ve enjoyed together over the years. I’m excited for my future projects, and I hope our paths will cross again.”
We wish you good luck with your new projects, Octav!
Tinder: Action Against OnlyFans and Sugar Daddy Ads on Its Platform
Tinder is taking a tough stance on users who try to promote businesses or advertise sex work on the dating app. The company has announced that it will remove any social media handles listed in public user profile bios to combat this behavior. “Tinder is not a place to promote businesses to try making money. Members shouldn’t advertise, promote, or share social handles or links to gain followers, sell things, fundraise, or campaign,” Tinder announced on Thursday. This policy refresh is designed to keep the app a “fun and safe place” for meeting people where “realness” is key, according to Tinder.
“To guide these younger daters as they start their dating journey, Tinder is using this policy refresh to remind and educate members about healthy dating habits — both online and in real life,” said Tinder’s senior vice president of member strategy Ehren Schlue. “Tinder isn’t the place for any sort of sex work, escort services, or compensated relationships. So, no — don’t use Tinder to find your sugarmamma.”
The dating app’s updated community guidelines go further, with a new paragraph explicitly stating that Tinder is not the place for any sort of sex work, escort services, or compensated relationships. This is part of the company’s effort to distance itself from the hookup app label it has been given in the past and redefine its cultural significance away from hookups and towards healthy relationships.
