PleazeMe Adult Social Network Clarifies Guidelines in Wake of FOSTA/SESTA

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — PleazeMe.com, a new sex-positive social site for adults, has clarified its usage guidelines in the wake of FOSTA/SESTA legislation.

According to the company, it is making its online debut at a time where sexual content is disappearing from the internet at an alarming pace.

“Thanks to FOSTA/SESTA, the so-called ‘sex-trafficking’ law passed last year that places the legal responsibility of online user content squarely on the shoulders of website owners,” a company representative explained, “the once-grand World Wide Web is facing its first serious censorship dilemma in 21 years, affecting the very livelihood of content creators, sex workers and educators.”

PleazeMe CEO Heather C. Montgomery has been watching the political drama unfold since the divisive legislation package became law in April 2018, and while efforts are in place to repeal a law that essentially comes down to Congress censoring the internet, adult sites see an uphill battle ahead.

“Social media channels started suppressing sexual content for adults in the wake of campaigns demanding censorship in order to protect children,” Montgomery said. “With the advent of FOSTA/SESTA, those content boundaries have become significantly more restrictive, and are getting tighter by the day.”

“These restrictions affect sexual health information and products, adult entertainment, LGBTQIA interaction and anything else that touches on sex,” Montgomery added, asking, “How can businesses seeking to enhance the sexual health and sex lives of adults get the word out about their product?”

Montgomery noted that many websites have changed their community guidelines in order to comply with the law — with an expected loss of customers and revenue — and some have gone out of business altogether, clarifying how PleazeMe’s guidelines are simple and similar to those of Twitter and reddit:

  • No sexual photo or video taken without the subject’s consent (this includes upskirt shots and revenge porn).
  • In compliance with Food and Drug Administration regulations, users promoting a supplement may not make structure/function claims.
  • In compliance with FOSTA/SESTA laws, no promotion of sex in exchange for payment.
  • No cheater hookup sites.
  • No sexual or sexually suggestive content involving a minor.
  • Affiliate links are OK. Users selling something in the PleazeMe store can receive an affiliate link to use and their post will have a premium placement in the feed.

PleazeMe.com, now in the Beta testing phase ahead of its official summer launch, offers many of the same user functions as traditional social networks, with seven different sexual “worlds” that new members can discover and make personal connections on, coordinate events, post on the main user feed, share video links, and comment and like with “Heart” button functionality, with complete privacy.
