Branded: Sex Workers on Social Media
summary
Specifics: how real-name policies force identity leaks and repeated Facebook verifications requiring home addresses, how Porn WikiLeaks permanently links legal and stage names, and how payment processors (PayPal, WePay, Amazon, Visa/MasterCard) freeze accounts or compel Patreon workarounds at month end. Concrete numbers and outcomes appear — a 6,000-follower marketing asset that prevents leaving the industry, recurring account shutdowns, and payment interruptions that stop rent — and the talk gives real examples of what was built and why those fixes fail.
