🙏 Our thoughts are with Leonid’s family and friends during this difficult time.

📰 Our newest SpankByte is out now! We spoke with @valentinevonbettie.bsky.social about her journey through advocacy, outreach, and community care, and how her roles with the @oswcoalition.bsky.social and @cupcakegirlsorg.bsky.social have shaped her perspective on what adult workers really need.

🚨 ATTENTION ADULT CREATORS! Make sure you delete your Amazon wishlists before March 25th, unless you have a PO Box that you’re ok with being seen by buyers.

The war on #debanking didn’t end, it evolved. After reputational risk was banned, institutions quietly replaced it with “financial risk” and “compliance risk.” We break down: • The Wise policy shift • The loophole • How regulators track complaints • Steps to push back

And that's why we say NO to #AgeVerification 👉 Check the status in your country & whether you need to contact your lawmakers: tuta.com/blog/age-ver...

Age verification laws aren’t just about “protecting kids.” They’re about surveillance, data collection, and forcing adults to hand over sensitive info to access legal content. This @spectrum.ieee.org article breaks down the real tech risks behind age verification. spectrum.ieee.org/age-verifica...

DO NOT SETTLE! 🚫 Wise words from @gloriahole420.bsky.social from our Love is in the Air SpankByte! Read more: www.spankchain.com/spankbyte-co...

💌 February is the month of love, and love inside the adult industry rarely fits into tidy boxes. It exists alongside stigma, disclosure, vulnerability, power, politics, and radical honesty. We asked creators directly about what love is like for them as SWers.

Wisconsin is about to ban VPN use for "material harmful to minors," part of a larger bill age-verification bill. The final vote is tomorrow. If you're based in WI, or have fans or friends who are, have them contact their legislator NOW. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/wi/action.php

BREAKING: 74 Courtesans working at a legal brothel in Nevada are unionizing with @cwaunion.bsky.social.

This is a big win!

Our latest SpankByte is live! ✨ In light of the recent #debanking by Wise, we wanted to share some info on what's happening, why it's wrong, and steps affected creators can take to attempt to get their funds/account back, including how to escalate the issue. 🔗 www.spankchain.com/spankbyte-co...

A little BTS from our shoot with our newest SpankMate! 📸 @slimsaydeee.bsky.social

TN is considering a new bill that allows parents to sue large platforms that allow "material harmful to minors"— including sculpture, drawings, photos, music or video games— that describe or depict nudity, sex or "excessive violence" The censorship that started with "porn" is coming for everything.

🚨Many adult creators are reporting blocked transfers or restricted accounts on Wise, with messages citing: “We do not support transfers related to Adult Content.” This is from Wise’s updated TOS, which lists adult content as unsupported. For many creators, their work didn't change, the policy did.

More #debanking in our industry. The OCC has stated that lawful businesses should not be denied banking based on reputational risk, but many fintechs aren’t directly covered, leaving creators vulnerable.

Banking access is not a privilege, it’s essential infrastructure. Adult workers and lawful businesses should not be denied financial services based on stigma or broad “risk” classifications. The OCC’s acknowledgment of debanking practices marks an important moment for accountability and reform.

📹 We had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Esra Padget of LOVE BUZZ to talk SW, economic access, and more! Full interview coming soon! Plus, make sure to check out the LOVE BUZZ Substack at the link in comments ⤵️
