Violet Blue: Few people know about the hacker worlds—they’re global, overlapping, contain many diverse communities, and the rabbit holes are deep with history, politics, risk, and community. I’d say it’s one of many things hackers and sex workers have in common. The one thing I’d correct is that it’s not necessarily white-hat hackers who I’d point out here. I’d say that dudes working at Facebook who call themselves hackers fall into the white-hat category. And if they gave a shit about sex workers, I bet we wouldn’t see the persecution, outings and witch-hunts over sex-worker names and content on Facebook.
A really interesting Q.A. with Violet Blue, an authority on sex and tech.
The question, “Is porn dangerous?” then, ends up being as overly broad, and as misleading, as the question, “Is film dangerous?” The answer to both is, “It depends.” Different porn, viewed in different contexts, by different viewers, can have different connotations, and different effects.
Rather than less porn, Tarrant suggests, maybe we need more. “Because when we’re talking about mainstream porn, it’s sort of like if we only got our news from Fox media,” she tells Quartz. “We’d all be in trouble. So we need better news sources; we need better porn sources. Because it’s not going to go away.”
More porn is the answer to everything.
When he posted portions of Hulk Hogan’s sex tape, A.J. Dauleriosays he was merely practicing journalism. He had followed reports about the titillating footage in the news, and when the tape fell into his possession, Daulerio decided to tell the story himself.
Daulerio, a former top editor at Gawker, testified Monday in a St. Petersburg, Florida courtroom, at Hogan’s $100 million invasion of privacy trial.
The former professional wrestler, whose real name is Terry Bollea, is suing Daulerio, Gawker founder Nick Denton and the site’s parent company over publishing the excerpts of the sex tape in 2012.
Last week, Hogan’s attorneys tried to paint Daulerio as a ruthless blogger whose only concern is driving web traffic.
I feel bad now. Poor Hulk. The Hulk won his case though, so that might help, because $115 million always helps.
