The Women of Sex Tech tried to host its first virtual conference—until YouTube abruptly shut it down. The Women of Sex Tech Virtual Conference 2020 included panels discussing the EARN IT Act, abortion access during the COVID-19 pandemic, online dating as a digital sexual abuse survivor, and fostering erotic mindfulness with one’s body during social isolation. None of the event material violated YouTube’s nudity and sexual content policies, which ban “explicit content meant to be sexually gratifying,” including pornography and nudity.
Women of Sex Tech President said, “The video cut off saying that it had been removed for violating community guidelines. I was so confused, I thought it had to be a glitch considering there was no mention of sex or adult content at that time.” YouTube eventually said that removals of the streams were mistakes by YouTube’s automated content moderation system, but the Women of Sex Tech were skeptical. Women of Sex Tech’s President said, “community members often find their accounts are inexplicably deleted, refused advertisement, or not able to use payment processors, among many other issues. It’s well-documented that sex workers, adult creators, and sex tech innovators have faced censorship on other social media platforms.”
