not just anything sexual, but mere nudity on social media platforms seems to be controversial. I remember the "female presenting nipples" debacle on Tumblr including pictures of breast-feeding mothers.

"no censorship" apparently means, "don't anger American conservatives", not "everyone can speak and share".

It is probably pragmatic/conventional wisdom that it will kill mainstream adoption if they are openly linked to it. It is deeply stupid but I can't say it is incorrect.

Now they have a point with FOSTA - it was already risky when they don't know if a naked body is 18 or 17.

To be blunt stupid inputs be they customer norms or laws get stupid results - it is how systems work.
