Definitely! That confused me. At first sight, I was wondering about the origin of the content. It was a bad idea to rip off Twitter's visual identity in my opinion.
Sony's decision to lock Fortnite accounts on their platform seems to be in direct violation of the GDRP "data portability" law.

the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible.

Cross-play is a different story though.

Out of curiosity. Is NSFW actually NSFW at Pornhub? It may sound silly, but I'm wondering if software developers replace porn with cat videos on their development environment.
