Another #cornfactfriday gem ☺️

What better way to ring in the new year than to have Alaina Taylor as our new SpankMate?! 🙌🍾

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re holding space for both the struggles and the wins. Creators were asked to adapt, again and again. But we also saw resilience, community, and real progress. 🙏

So, size does matter after all...

We've been saying this for YEARS! It has to end before more of our freedoms are taken away. We can have protections without mass censorship and surveillance. Thank you for speaking out.

🥳 We're cooking up a new project over at Spank University that we are SOOOO excited about! Here is a little sneak peek, featuring our current SpankMate, Stephanie Love. The holiday season is all about giving, as they say, and we aren't even near done sharing gifts with you all! 🎁

It really is 😉 #cornfactfriday

Wishing you all safety, joy, and love, not just during the holidays, but every day… Merry Christmas 🎄✨ 🩷 SpankChain

Spanky wanted me to tell you all to enjoy yourself today, however you may be spending your Christmas Eve! And most importantly, stay safe!🩷

📅 FSC Summit 2026 is the place to be Jan 15 at XBIZ LA. From media strategies to policy deep dives, get tools to protect creators’ rights this year. We’re proud to help sponsor the morning session before and the happy hour after 🥂 RSVP at the link in the @fsc.bsky.social's original post 👇

👟Spanky the Elf has very specific tastes and who are we to judge. He’s supporting creators directly this holiday season.🎁 Are you?

Hehe oops 😅 #cornfactfriday

Traffic to UK porn sites has dropped 77% since age-verification went live. UK legislator celebrates, saying she's "very pleased" with the drop, calling it a "green shoot." I don't know how they can make it any clearer that they view AV as a tool to police adult sexuality. Organize accordingly.

📰Hot off the press! "Security Practices 101: Part I" is now live on our website! The PornHub data leak reminded us: even platforms people assume are “secure” can expose users overnight. In today’s internet, you and your data are the commodity. 🧵

🎉 This ruling is a direct setback for state-level digital ID and age-verification laws that require users to prove who they are before accessing lawful online speech. The court made clear that forcing identity checks just to participate online raises serious constitutional concerns.

When the zine is free, but freedom is kinda hot tho 😌💖 Thank you @fsc.bsky.social for protecting our spicy little rights ✨✨✨

Spanky the Elf read ONE age-verification bill and immediately got on the phone with his senators! You should too! 📲

Today, December 17th, is the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. 🖤 This day exists because sex workers continue to face violence, discrimination, and systemic harm.

You’re welcome VHS 😋 #cornfactfriday

🚨 The adult industry just got something we almost never get in politics: A public acknowledgment that debanking is real, and wrong. The OCC’s new report explicitly names adult as an industry unfairly restricted by major banks due to “reputational” or political concerns. This is huge.

In August, President Trump issued an executive order promising fair banking for all Americans. Have you had a bank or payment processor shut down your account, or refuse to open one, since August? We need to hear from you. Share your experience here: buff.ly/DtloW2V

Devote a day to defending your rights! Join us at FSC Summit 2026 on Jan 15 at XBIZ LA. A full day of insights, strategy, and members-only meetups, with sessions on narrative change, age verification, and federal policy. See you all there!

Over the past few years, FSC raised alarms in Washington about debanking of our industry. Thousands of you joined us to file complaints. Finally, a new government report has affirmed it: major banks wrongly discriminated against adult businesses. Our work is paying off. Now, we fight for a fix.

He just got here, so we waited until after Spanky the Elf made it rain responsibly to tell him senators are busy writing bills that steal more than the Grinch ever could. 🎄

Censorship policies always impact marginalized perspectives. That’s why we’re outside in NYC + San Francisco calling YouTube + Reddit to resist online ID checks and commit to avoiding these censorship laws.

🔞 The new “no tax on tips” policy is being celebrated as a win for service workers. But buried in the details is a major exclusion: the IRS says adult entertainment workers do not qualify. Same job structure. Same tipping system. Different treatment based on stigma.

Ok Utah, we need to talk 😂 #cornfactfriday

📢 @mintstars.bsky.social looks to be the first adult platform preparing to adopt @concordium.com's privacy-preserving age check, letting users prove they are adults without giving up personal data. Rollout starts in February and could mark a major shift for privacy-safe compliance. 🧵

🚨 A new adults-only platform created by performer Stella Barey is being talked about as an “anti-OnlyFans.” People are paying attention because it was built by someone who actually works in the industry and understands its challenges. 🧵

Well... December is here and, lucky for you, Christmas came early!🎄 Meet our new SpankMate, Stephanie Love!🖤

OnlyFans is introducing criminal background checks for US creators through Checkr. Do you think this move is: 1️⃣ A good step for safety 2️⃣ Bad for creator autonomy 3️⃣ Mixed, depends on implementation 4️⃣ Not sure yet 👇 Comment below. Some context and concerns follow.

Banning VPNs sets a dangerous precedent. It gives governments and corporations more power to decide when and how we can practice free speech, while eroding privacy and limiting access to information.

🚨Creators! If you have ever been blocked by payment processors or banking discrimination, this update is worth your attention. @mintstars.bsky.social just introduced a new Creator Card that is actually designed for our industry!

This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for the people who make this community powerful: creators who show up every day, fans who support ethically, and advocates who fight to protect our rights. Thank you for being here with us. You matter more than you know. 🧡💚

🍂 Nina November is coming to a close, but we are not done celebrating! More educational and empowering Nina Hartley content is on the way for Spank University. Stay tuned and make sure you're following for even more reasons to love a true legend. 🫶 #ninahartley

Donations have already surpassed the goal! Let’s try to double it!🩷

🚨 Today, @bitcoincom-news.bsky.social announced a partnership with blockchain @concordium.com to enable age-verified stablecoin payments for 75 million wallets. It’s the first large-scale attempt to make age verification work without surveillance. #ageverification 🧵

💙 Giving Tuesday is on December 2nd, and this year we want to highlight @pineapplesupport.bskyverified.social, a nonprofit that provides free and low cost mental health care for people in the adult industry. Therapy, support groups, 24/7 trained listeners. Completely confidential. 🍍

While politicians are busy banning porn, drag, VPNs, and adult platforms “to protect the kids,” the real danger is sitting in toy aisles. New AI powered toys are using the same language models built for adults. These toys are talking to children aged 3 to 12 with almost no meaningful guardrails.

🚨Creators! If you have ever been blocked by payment processors or banking discrimination, this update is worth your attention. @mintstars.bsky.social just introduced a new Creator Card that is actually designed for our industry!

🧵 A major supply chain attack just hit over 400 NPM packages, including critical crypto and ENS libraries! #CryptoSecurity

8 years ago we started as a tiny idea with big dreams!🎉 From camsites to crypto payments to NFTs to creator tools, SpankChain has had many lives! Today we are focused on education, advocacy, and building a safer future for creators.💗 Cheers to the next chapter!✨

November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance, where we acknowledge and honor the trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming lives cut short by anti-trans violence. Trans and nonbinary people deserve more than equality – they deserve safety, dignity, joy, and above all else deserve to grow old.

Happy International Men’s Day to the men who uplift creators, support their favorite performers, and move with kindness. And to the men in the adult industry who show professionalism, passion, and teamwork every day: We see you and appreciate you. 🩷 #internationalmensday
