LONDON — Content creator and entrepreneur Alicia Amira has revealed details regarding the pending launch of her BimboFans platform.

“After nine months of design, development and testing, BimboFans has entered closed beta,” a rep said. “This week, the first wave of fans has joined the platform and begun experiencing the amazing features and content offered by the site.”

Creators are “lovingly called ‘Bimbos,'” explained the rep, in line with Amira’s Be a Bimbo brand.

BimboFans is built on the X10 adult platform and CCBill payment provider systems and includes free, paid, and subscription content; free and paid messaging with fans and subscribers; pay-per-download clips and images; custom content requests from fans; and livestreaming, among other features.

“Meanwhile, fans who join the site can subscribe to one Bimbo or several, enjoying whatever mix of free, premium and subscriber content they’ve paid to access,” the rep said. “Payment can be made with all major credit cards.”

Amira found herself “tired of constant censorship and shadowbanning” and decided to create “a platform where hot, fake and sexy women can be who they are for the fans who adore them,” she said.

“With BimboFans, women like me will finally have a platform they can count on, that caters to our needs, our interests and our fans,” she continued. “Everything about the site has been custom-built for Bimbos and fans, down to your choice of ‘Bubblegum Bimbo’ and ‘Goth Bimbo’ color schemes.”

MONTREAL — MindGeek’s top two executives, CEO Feras Antoon and COO David Tassillo, have resigned, according to a statement the company released to mainstream entertainment trade publication Variety.

“Antoon and Tassillo leave MindGeek’s day-to-day operations after more than a decade in leadership positions with the company,” read the statement, as reported by Variety this morning.

“With the company strategically positioned for long-term growth, MindGeek’s executive leadership team will run day-to-day operations on an interim basis, with a search underway for replacements,” the statement added.

According to Variety’s source, a company rep, the change in leadership “has been in the works since early 2022.” The rep noted that Antoon and Tassillo will remain shareholders in the company.

The company also stressed its commitment to the industry-wide shift towards the creator economy.

Variety reported MindGeek is “now beginning to ‘invest deeply in expanding creator-first offerings’ as well as additional ‘opportunities for content monetization.’”

According to the report, MindGeek’s rep added that the company “currently provides hundreds of thousands of models ‘with the opportunity to earn a living’ and is seeking to ‘massively expand’ the number of talent it works with.”

BARCELONA — A group of leading Spanish and Spain-based independent adult content producers has released a manifesto opposing the total censorship of adult content proposed by the governing PSOE as part of its new anti-sex-work legislation.

Under the heading “Independent adult film producers unite to defend sex workers’ right to consent in response to the new Spanish ‘Solo Sí Es Sí’ Law,” creators Paulita Pappel, Erika Lust, Noel Alejandro and Lemon, and companies Lust Cinema, XConfessions, Else Cinema, Lustery, HardWerk and SexSchoolHub criticized the proposed new law.

“According to PSOE,” the manifesto declares, “Article 187 of the Penal Code is incomplete because it only punishes prostitution that is ‘exploitative,’ while it should ‘punish prostitution widely’; that is, ‘any form of obtaining profit from the prostitution of others,’ no matter if the practice is carried out under exploitation (banned under current law) or with explicit consent from all parties involved, and following ethical production practices.”

The proposed law, the statement continues, “only reinforces the stigma against sex work and the porn industry, demonizing prostitution and pornography as among the main causes of violence against women, and condemning sex workers to more precariousness, secrecy and violence.”

The manifesto co-signers note that “the sex and porn industry is much more complex than this” and that “Much of porn is built from the pillars of consent and respect for the boundaries and interests and desires of all involved.”

The manifesto concludes with a call for addressing some of the social issues underlying political attacks on sex work and adult entertainment: “We firmly believe that we must fight for the development of porn literacy skills, and thus ensure that the sexual education that young people receive is realistic, healthy and enriching for their lives.” 

SAN FRANCISCO — The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals this week scheduled for September 2 oral arguments regarding a lower court’s refusal to dismiss the Backpage.com case, following the notorious 2021 mistrial declared by an Arizona judge.

Oral arguments will be presented a year after controversial Judge Susan Brnovich — wife of Arizona Attorney General Mike Brnovich, who is currently campaigning for a U.S. Senate seat — declared a mistrial in the case against former Backpage owners Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin. The mistrial ruling came after prosecutors repeatedly ignored Judge Brnovich’s instructions not to attempt to prejudice the jury by bringing up unrelated and inflammatory “child sex trafficking” insinuations.

“The trial judge declared a mistrial in September 2021 due to prosecutorial misconduct,” Phoenix reporter Stephen Lemons told XBIZ. Lemons has been covering the case for years, for the Lacey-Larkin online publication Front Page Confidential. “The defense moved for dismissal, arguing that a new trial would violate the Fifth Amendment’s bar on trying someone twice for the same crime.”

Lemons explained that a new judge “denied that motion without holding an evidentiary hearing. The defense has appealed to the Ninth Circuit. The matter is fully briefed, and the court has tentatively scheduled oral arguments for Sept. 2 in San Francisco.”

According to Lemons, “the government knows that the speech that appeared on Backpage was legal and protected by the First Amendment. One of its own witnesses said so at trial. It’s time for this unhinged vendetta to end.”

Lemons’ recent Front Page Confidential report on the new date for oral arguments described the upcoming hearing as allowing each side 15 minutes before a panel of three judges.

“A notice on the federal docket states that the panel could still decide to forgo oral arguments and rule from the briefs in the case,” the report noted.

Backpage was shuttered and seized by federal authorities in 2018, days before President Trump signed FOSTA into law. The government accused Lacey, Larkin and others of a number of alleged crimes related to their ownership of the popular adult-oriented classifieds website. The case was subsequently used by several political figures, including Vice President Kamala Harris, as an example of the need for the FOSTA Section 230 exception.

Federal prosecutors accused the company of “participation in a conspiracy to facilitate and promote prostitution,” and also of money laundering, human trafficking and other charges, which were strongly disputed by the defense.
