Ok, I think I’m back to starting to answer porn world emails this week. Upending your life takes some time, so thanks for all the patience. Now it is time to remember who Kate is.

Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned. For Over A Year.
From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn't waiting. Maybe it was already happening. This week a...

It’s not the porn I hate, it’s the platforms.

I’m starting to have a lot a lot of empathy for myself in getting out of an abusive relationship. At first I was embarrassed and almost disgusted with myself for admitting it happened to me. But now, nearly a couple months out, I am just so proud that I left. So proud I put my foot down.

It’s so important to look back at other methods of communication when designing present-day communication law and policy. How has mail been handled? Phone bugging? PIGEON TRACKING?! Seriously, it all adds up because it’s all the same base concept.

I always thought it was a bad idea to get a tattoo of a living person, but I did it anyway. I have zero regrets and now, sadly, I no longer have a tattoo of a living person. Please gaze upon my Dolly Parton tattoo, in her 1978 Playboy regalia.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Good. I remember colleagues would report sexual assault by pilots and the employer responded by just changing the flight attendant’s schedule so they wouldn’t encounter him as much. He would always keep flying. Or the time they cut our drinking curfew and layover times. Anything but accountability.

This. This is exactly it. Consensual adult work is demonized while the same people who demonize it participate in nefarious things. To be clear I’m also no Hef fan. But come the fuck on.

Merrick Monroe 💜🖤 @merrickmonroe.com · 11/08/2026
I woke up to an email that my YT channel had been removed. I have had this account for nigh 20 years, same as my email, and I don’t even remember the last time I posted a video to it—whatever I posted was CERTAINLY not sexual. But, I’m a sex worker, so my existence goes against community standards.
“Merrick Monroe was removed from YouTube
Your channel, Merrick Monroe, wasn't following our policy on Nudity and sexual content. We removed it to protect our community.
If you think we made the wrong call, we'd be happy to take another look. Begin your review to see more info and to start your appeal. You can review and appeal until August 11, 2027.”

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.
(3) COVERED PLATFORM.— The term "covered platform" -
(A) means an entity -
(i) that is an interactive computer service;
(ii) that-

or
(Il) purposefully avails itself of the United States
market or a portion thereof; and
(iïi) for which it is in the regular course of the trade or
business of the entity to create, host, or make available content that meets the definition of harmful to minors under paragraph (4) and that is provided by the entity, a user, or other intration conten provider, with

Trust me that I also don’t want young people encountering sexy movies online. The reason I oppose most age verification tech in its current form is that there is too much data collected, too much privacy violation potential, too much tracking potential, to be good for anyone, especially kids.

Trust that sex workers and the adult world generally knows who these kind of people are, and we couldn’t be happier to be rid of them. This guy has been allowed to publicly run rampant and remain platformed for so long while workers themselves eat the brunt of surveillance. Wild.
