Chris “Leave her Alone” Crocker has deleted his Facebook social media profile following on from the news that the social media platform has introduced a raft of puritanical bans on sexual talk.
The policy could potentially ban gay, bisexual and transgender users from discussing whether they are top or bottoms on the site as it seeks to ban “sexual hints such as (the) mention of sexual roles, positions or fetish scenarios”.
“Demonizes sexuality”
Chris, who is an internet star, turned adult performer took to Twitter to say that despite the fact he had 4 million followers on Facebook, he would no longer “contribute content to a site that demonizes sexuality”.
I had 4 million+ followers on @facebook and I deleted.
I will never contribute content to a site that demonizes sexuality:

Facebook’s community standards say, “Do not post content that engages in implicit sexual solicitation, which can be identified by… using sexual hints such as mentioning sexual roles, sex positions, fetish scenarios, sexual preference/sexual partner preference, state of arousal, act of sexual intercourse or activity (sexual penetration or self-pleasuring), commonly sexualized areas of the body such as the breasts, groin, or buttocks, state of hygiene of genitalia or buttocks.”
The policy change comes just a day after blogging site Tumblr said it was going to remove all adult content from its site.
In a separate Twitter post, Chris wrote:
The internet is becoming Anti-Sex.
Corporations are cracking down on the promotion of LEGAL Sex Work;
Porn Actors are losing their ability to promote their work.
Yet millionaires pay for prostitutes with NDA’s.

A long list of bans
Facebook isn’t the first platform to take a stand on sexualised content. Earlier in December,
Tumblr announced it was purging itself of sexualised content.
Sex workers have seen files deleted or removed from their Google Drives
Starbucks said it would be enacted a censorship tool for porn on its in-store WIFI
Craigslist had its personals shutdown
Reddit has banned all sex-work groups and
Escorting sites such as Rentboys.com has been shuttered.
