Twitter / X

X (formerly Twitter) is a social media platform where people post short messages, share content, and engage in public conversations. Since Elon Musk’s takeover in 2022, the platform has become increasingly relevant to the sextech and adult content space through several controversial features and policy shifts. The platform has rolled out Grok 3 ‘Sexy’ mode, bringing explicit AI chat capabilities to mainstream social media users. It’s also launched NSFW AI companions like ‘Valentine’, a male chatbot designed with romantic and sexual conversation capabilities. For the LGBTQ+ community, X remains a hub for connection and discovery, as covered in our dating app analysis. The platform has also become notable for what it hasn’t done – specifically around content moderation and age verification. While competitors like Bluesky and Reddit have implemented ID and facial scans for UK porn access rules, X has remained largely silent on compliance. This hands-off approach to regulation has made it a key platform for adult content creators, sex educators, and the broader sextech community. In 2024, Twitter was officially rebranded to X following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform in October 2022, with the iconic bird logo and twitter.com domain discontinued in favor of x.com. The platform continues to operate under the X brand, expanding into new territory like NSFW AI companions and Grok’s “Sexy” mode for explicit AI chat.
