A new Facebook policy tightening rules on sexual content has significant repercussions for sex workers. The new rules updated guidelines on “sexual solicitation,” involving a ban on “sexual emojis or emoji strings” and nudity “covered by human parts,” among other changes. Facebook’s Community Standards is defining sexual solicitation as a user “implicitly or indirectly” offering some form of sexual communication, be it “nude imagery,” sex, or “sex chat conversations.”
The rules also include anything that can be considered “sexually suggestive,” such as sex positions, fetish scenarios, or self-pleasuring. The new rules mean sex workers can no longer post nude photos censored with pasties, emoji, or their hands covering their bare breasts. Facebook still bans a wide assortment of sexual material under its Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity section, which includes “digital content” featuring “explicit sexual intercourse,” “implied sexual intercourse,” “stimulation of naked human nipples,” and fetishism with “urine, spit, snot,” and other bodily fluids.
