Abstract
Social media play a central role in today’s internet communication. They enable us to come together, communicate and debate with one another, even under the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic. In recent years social media have implemented a deplatforming of sex in the name of unspecified notions of safety. Sexual imagery and sexual communication have been expunged from the palette of exchanges avail- able to social media users. This article explores how sexual content is evaluated and determined to be acceptable or harmful. It focuses on the community content standards of the social media, which derive from the 1957 Supreme Court definition of obscenity. The article points out the negative effects of eliminating the social media space for communicating sexual matters.
