SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

Alison Boden@alisonboden.bsky.social · 8h ago

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

@DerekKage.com chose this career intentionally and loves what he does. In this week’s #FSCSpeakOut, he challenges the misconception that adult work is a last resort and reminds us that many performers are exactly where they want to be. @EPAUnited.bskyverified.social

The Senate Commerce Committee will vote on the SCREEN Act on August 5, 2026. Take action now to oppose nationwide age verification in the US This bill would force every adult in the country to hand over identifying information just to use the internet. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

People have a lot of opinions about the adult industry, but how often do they listen to the people who actually work in it? Creators discuss misconceptions they face about working in adult. @EPAUnited.bskyverified.social #FSCSpeakOut

The adult industry is built on community 💙 For @trentonducati.bsky.social, one of the most meaningful parts of this work is seeing people come together, support one another, and stand up for the industry when it matters most. Share your story with #FSCSpeakOut @EPAUnited.bskyverified.social

Not every story in the adult industry is the same. For Sophia Locke, this work has meant finding a community where she can be her authentic self without judgment. Creators are consenting professionals, and their voices matter. Share your story with #FSCSpeakOut @EPAUnited.bskyverified.social

Last chance to register! Join us tomorrow at 10am PT as @MikeStabile.bsky.social and @AllieEveKnox.bsky.social discuss banking discrimination, financial access, and how Opportunity Credit Union is supporting the adult industry. 🔗 us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Every creator has a different reason for loving this work, but one theme we hear again and again is the community 🫶 Share your story with #FSCSpeakOut @siridahl.com @EPAUnited.bskyverified.social

Ask performers what keeps them in this industry and many will say it's the people. Hear creators talk about community and why having people who understand your work makes all the difference. #FSCSpeakOut @EPAUnited.bskyverified.social

When @codivore.bsky.social was looking for a career, she wanted work that would give her freedom, novelty, and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. She found all of that in the adult industry. Share your story using #FSCSpeakOut

Glad to see the last of the NCOSE age verification cases in Kansas dismissed. Private enforcement of age verification laws defies common sense and, in the hands of our opponents, is just another tool to stifle and repress sex online. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For @itsLotusLain.bsky.social, the adult industry has provided the flexibility and stability to support her child while thriving as both a creator and a parent. FSC Speak Out is a campaign from FSC and @EPAUnited amplifying the voices of adult creators. Join us with #FSCSpeakOut

For many creators, flexibility isn’t a perk. It’s one of the reasons they chose this work. @TheLionEmperor.bsky.social shares how working in the adult industry gives him the freedom to build a schedule that works for his life, not the other way around. #FSCSpeakOut

FSC condemns a recent UN press release calling for prosecution of adult platforms that host user-generated content. Adult platforms have led the tech sector in age and consent verification, while mainstream platforms remain the primary source of NCII and CSAM distribution online.

The IRS finalized its “No Tax on Tips” rule but excluded income from adult content. Creators can still deduct up to $25K in tips (2025–2028), but “pornographic activity” doesn’t qualify, creating a clear double standard. More on what this means for the industry: buff.ly/wksEVx4
