MENLO PARK, Calif. — Merely a few hours after Meta’s launch of its Twitter-competitor app Threads, the head of Instagram confirmed that female nipples and everything else considered as “nudity” will not be allowed on the platform.

Answering an open query on Threads by pop tech journalist Taylor Lorenz, Instagram’s Adam Mosseri — a close collaborator of Meta’s owner Mark Zuckerberg — confirmed that the Instagram guidelines will also apply to the company’s new Twitter-like platform.

“Can women post nips on here?” Lorenz asked shortly after Threads’ launch.

“Nope, same community guidelines as Instagram,” Mosseri replied. “We don’t have any philosophical issues with nudity, we just can’t verify age or consent unfortunately, which makes it a safety issue.”

Mosseri’s candid reply providing a rationale for the controversial “no female nipple” policy is unusual for a high-level Meta exec.

As XBIZ reported, in January Meta’s own Oversight Board — a panel of experts selected by the company to deliberate on content decisions — released a decision recommending the company clarify arbitrary and vague definitions concerning nudity, sexual activity and sexual solicitation.

The Board ultimately found that the Sexual Solicitation Community Standard “contains overbroad criteria in the internal guidelines provided to reviewers. This poorly tailored guidance contributes to over-enforcement by reviewers and confusion for users. Meta acknowledged this, as it explained to the Board that applying its internal guidance could ‘lead to over-enforcement’ in cases where the criteria for implicit sexual solicitation are met but it is clear that there was ‘no intention to solicit sex.’”

Moreover, the fact that reviewers “repeatedly reached different outcomes about this content” suggested to the Board “a lack of clarity for moderators on what content should be considered sexual solicitation.”

SAN FRANCISCO — The organizers of the San Francisco PornFilmFestival have announced the official slate for the event’s 2023 edition.

The festival features in-person events broadcasting live from the Brava Theater, August 18 and 19, as well as online programing Aug. 16 to 27.

The screenings are powered by streaming adult platform PinkLabel.TV.

The festival is a multigenerational celebration of the industry’s history, and a look forward to the innovations of today’s adult filmmakers. Attendees can look forward to in-person and virtual screenings, socials, filmmaker chats and a collection of thought-provoking erotic and adult films.

The collection of 69 titles, a rep noted, “present an erotic smorgasbord with something for everyone, in a wide assortment of films exploring sexuality, spanning experimental to documentary.”

This year’s festival features a fresh line-up of films premiering this year, as well as a look back at classic LGBTQ+ movies.

“This year also sees a trend coming out after the initial wave of the pandemic isolation — group sex scenes!” the rep enthused.

The festival closes with BIG/BANG, a curated who’s who in contemporary porn-making around the world.

Coinciding with the announcement of the festival’s official selections, organizers also launched the festival’s annual fundraiser, offering VIP and presale tickets, limited-edition t-shirts, PinkLabel.TV gift cards and big sponsorship packages.

The fundraiser, the rep said, “allows the international filmmaking community and its biggest fans to play a major role in supporting the event by helping to secure theatrical and virtual production expenses, and importantly, ensuring artist payment.”
