Indonesian Authorities Continue ‘Obscenity’ Prosecution of Popular OnlyFans Creator

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesian authorities have confirmed they will continue the criminal prosecution of popular OnlyFans creator Dea Gresaids, days after the influencer told the court that she is pregnant.

Gresaids was charged under the country’s draconian obscenity laws for creating consensual sexual content and selling it through her OnlyFans account.

Charges were prompted by her appearance on the popular Deddy Corbuzier podcast, thus failing to make her identity completely anonymous, as most of the country’s sex workers are forced to do.

She is being charged with “spreading pornographic content online” and was detained in late March in Malang, East Java. She was freed at the time, but she is still required to regularly report to the police.

Last month, her attorney Abdillah Syarifudin asked for leniency from the authorities due to her six-month pregnancy, local English-language news site Coconuts Jakarta reported.

Gresaids’ fate is in the hands of the District Attorney’s Office, and her lawyer has “asked that her pregnancy be taken into account when deciding whether or not she should be placed in detention during her trial,” Coconuts Jakarta reports.

“From a humanitarian perspective, no detentions have been carried out, but the legal process is still ongoing,” Jakarta Metro Police Spokesman Endra Zulpan told reporters.

The authorities zeroed in on Grisaids after “her popularity had skyrocketed after appearing in a popular podcast discussing her online sex work,” the news report explained.

Gresaids told Corbuzier that she had started her OnlyFans account to satisfy her passion for cosplay, and only later produced sexually oriented videos.

Her appearance as an open sex worker “was seen as a gutsy move… [W]hile there are several Indonesian content creators on OnlyFans, most have chosen to remain anonymous due to the country’s draconian anti-pornography laws.”

In early April, police also questioned someone known as DRZ, the male who performed with Gresaid in her OnlyFans videos. He alleged that Gresaids had promised him “the sex tapes were only intended for personal use, and had no knowledge that they were uploaded to OnlyFans.”

As XBIZ reported, recently Indonesian police have ramped up a crackdown on tourists making adult content in recognizable locations in the country — which includes prime destination Bali — and busting them for content made in the privacy of their rooms.

Supreme Court Puts Texas Online Platform Liability Law on Hold

Supreme Court Puts Texas Online Platform Liability Law on Hold

WASHINGTON — In an unusual 5-4 vote that did not follow ideological lines, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked this afternoon a controversial Texas social media law that would have created liability to social media platforms for moderating content based on what the law defined as “viewpoints.”

The Republican-backed law was drafted with the full support of Texas governor Greg Abbott as an answer to conservative and other right-wing complaints about supposed “liberal bias” on platform moderation, including the lifetime Twitter ban of former president Donald Trump.

Today, the Supreme Court blocked the law “from taking effect until a Fifth Circuit challenge of the legislation has been decided,” legal news site Law360 reported.

The split vote “reinstated a lower court order blocking enforcement of the Texas social media law known as HB 20, which prohibits certain ‘censorship’ or viewpoint discrimination by large internet platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.”

The five justices who blocked the law were Roberts, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Sotomayor and Breyer.

Liberal Justice Elena Kagan dissented, denying the application to vacate stay. Conservative Justices Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch dissented for different reasons.

As XBIZ reported, Abbot’s law had been upheld earlier this month by a peculiar 5th Circuit decision which was communicated without any explanation as to the court’s reasoning and with two of the judges remaining anonymous.

Last week, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling blocking the major provisions of a similarly controversial Florida’s social media law backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, which also would have held social media platforms liable for moderation policies in the name of political, but not sexual, “free speech.”

Both the Texas and Florida laws opens the way for lawsuits against online platforms accused of “viewpoint discrimination,” an ill-defined term with dubious legal standing. It is mostly used by conservatives and the U.S. right wing, who claim they are being censored on social media — though some of the same politicians and right-wing activists advocating against what they call “corporate” censorship also demand a return to state-driven censorship of sexual expression via obscenity prosecutions, and consider LGBTQ+ content to be “pornography.”

Svakom Sponsors International Women’s Day Event in Shenzhen, China

SHENZHEN, China — Svakom recently partnered with the Global Friendship organization to sponsor an International Women’s Day event in Shenzhen, China.

“We are always looking for new ways to contribute to such an amazing community,” a Svakom rep said. “Global Friendship has continued to do amazing things, and host incredible events, and we are grateful to have played a small role in empowering women and bringing a smile to someone’s face.”

Global Friendship is described as the largest events and services membership platform operating in the south of China. “Members are able to receive various perks, including opportunities to showcase talents and unique skills, as well as [network with] businesses through the Global Friendship network, and connect with a diverse community,” the rep explained.

The event had been originally scheduled to coincide with International Women’s Day on March 8, but was postponed several months due to concerns related to COVID-19.

“Despite being postponed, it didn’t put a damper on the positive energy of the event,” said Global Friendship co-founder Rochelle. “The theme this year was ‘Community Builders,’ celebrating those individuals, entrepreneurs, groups and business [which are] making a positive impact in the Shenzhen community.”

Svakom also provided a selection of products as raffle prizes during the event, including its Tyler vibrating C-ring, panty vibrator and Tulip bullet vibe.

“The winners were excited, some a bit shy, but these are always hot prizes that everyone wants,” Rochelle noted. “This was Svakom’s second time supporting International Women’s Day, after providing prizes for a previous event in Guangzhou, which took place in March.”

The Svakom rep said the company enjoys sponsoring events that promote positive sexuality and empowerment.

“Seeing the prize winners with smiles on their faces, clearly excited to try their new toy, brings us so much joy,” they added. “We’re always looking for new opportunities to provide everyone with a little piece of Svakom.”
