Twitter officially bans third-party clients

Twitter has gone through a lot of changes since Elon Musk took over, and the most recent came as a surprise to many. After cutting off prominent app makers like Tweetbot and Twitterific, Twitter today quietly updated its developer terms to ban third-party clients altogether. Twitter officially bans third-party clients Twitterific was a 3rd party app and the first desktop client for Twitter. When Twitter first launched, it was only a mobile app, sites like Twitterific help bridge the gap from mobile to desktop. Tweetbot was sort of the same. It allowed you to use Twitter through their app instead of the official app and add a few added benefits, like muted keywords, prior to Twitter themselves launching such a feature. Twitter’s attitude toward third-party clients has long been permissive and even supportive, with the company going so far as to remove a section from its developer terms that discouraged devs from replicating its core service. But that seems to have changed under CEO Elon Musk’s leadership.
The decision seems unlikely to foster goodwill toward Twitter at a time when the platform faces challenges on a number of fronts. In a blog post, Twitterrific’s Sean Heber called Twitter “increasingly capricious” and a company he “no longer recognize[d] as trustworthy nor want to work with any longer.”
Twitter is under immense pressure to turn a profit — or at least break even — as advertisers flee the platform, spurred by unpredictable, fast-changing content policies. The company, which has $12.5 billion in debt, is on the hook for $300 million in its first interest payment and has lost an estimated $4 billion in value since Musk acquired it at the end of October 2022. As Twitter currently has no communications department, nobody could really reach out to them for a comment.

Miss Fleshbot Kayla Kayden Featured in the NY Post

I was on Twitter last night when a tweet from the NY Post caught my attention. It was a picture of a girl I recognized. It was none other than our very own Miss Fleshbot, Kayla Kayden. Miss Fleshbot Kayla Kayden Featured in the NY Post The headline read, "I partied at the Playboy Mansion — models were blacklisted for refusing sex." An OnlyFans star claims she saw a model booted from Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion after refusing to perform a public sex act on one of the magazine icon’s famous friends. Kayla Kayden, 34, partied at the infamous estate more than a decade ago and says she was stunned by what went down there.
“Hugh Hefner would often kick girls out and ask security to remove them if they didn’t agree to any requests,” the blond model alleged. “I remember people dotted all over the mansion having sex wherever – in the pools, lobby, kitchen – you name it, there were people hooking up,” Kayden continued. “I stayed back and watched most of the time, but we were sold on this idea that we’d marry someone rich while being at the Playboy mansion, so many of us held out for this.”
During a trip to Las Vegas with several other models, Kayden claims one of her gal pals refused to perform oral sex on a musician who was friends with Hefner — and paid the price later on.
“She said no, and within seconds, she was thrown out [of the Vegas party],” Kayden alleged. “The band member then complained to Hef that she wasn’t being fun. I recall us all looking at each other and asking what she did, as we were all in shock. “When Hef [later] found out she was back at the Mansion, she was chucked out — and wasn’t allowed to return again,” Kayden continued. “If you didn’t do what you were told, you’d be blacklisted from the whole of Hollywood.”
She added: “Because most of the celebrities were friends with Hugh, he’d soon find out, and if we weren’t ‘servicing’ them or if we had a complaint, it was game over.” At the time Kayden was partying at the Playboy Mansion, she was making money as an online cam girl. She claims a man at the Mansion showed her a “standard Playmate contract,” which allegedly offered $25,000 as a down payment for a two-year modeling contract with the Playboy business.
“He asked if it was something I’d be interested in doing, but it seemed to be more work than I had first realized and a lot of traveling,” the blond alleged. “At the time, I was making $800-$1,000 a day as a cam girl. I also started making my own homemade adult movies on the side, as that was the life for me, so despite it having been my dream when younger [to model for Playboy], I wasn’t interested anymore because I saw so much more money in my other work.” In a statement, the PLBY Group told The Post: “The Hefner family is no longer associated with Playboy, and today’s Playboy is not Hugh Hefner’s Playboy. Today, our organization is run by a workforce that is more than 80% female and we will continue to confront any parts of our legacy that do not reflect our values today, and to build upon the progress we have made as we evolve as a company so we can drive positive change for our employees and our communities.”
These days, Kayden is an OnlyFans model who reportedly rakes in $50,000 a month on the site. And while the beauty was disturbed by some of the alleged antics at the Mansion, she wouldn’t be opposed to working with the Playboy brand in the future, saying it has transformed in the past decade.
“Despite what I’ve seen in the past, there’s been such a dramatic and positive change in recent years – the brand is much more diverse,” she declared.
Kayden is just one of several Playboy Mansion visitors to share her stories. Kate Moss claimed the home had “family vibes” and wasn’t “seedy” when she visited for a photoshoot back in 2013. Meanwhile, previous resident Holly Madison alleged that life in the Mansion was “gross” and that drugs were used to help fuel sex.
“I felt like I was in the cycle of gross things, and I didn’t know what to do,” the pinup proclaimed in the 2021 A&E docuseries “Secrets of Playboy.”

Miles Long Shoots, Scores Cover of Street Cars 101 Magazine with Tori Black

Veteran adult filmmaker Miles Long makes magic with a stunning cover of adult film star Tori Black alongside his award-winning 2004 Forester STi Left Hand Drive Conversion to spotlight Street Cars 101 magazine’s December issue. Miles Long Shoots, Scores Cover of Street Cars 101 Magazine with Tori Black It’s been an extremely successful collaboration between the long-time friends, with Long having just shot for Tori for the cover of FHM South Africa’s November issue, as well as having a featured interview and photos with her for the December issue of Nightmoves Magazine. The auto aficionado, whose Sedona red Subaru is sponsored by over a dozen major automotive space manufacturers and took home the trophy for Best Forester at 2019’s Subie Invasion Car Show in Las Vegas, is interviewed about his latest build in the article “Insane Subaru Build” while also talking about his various other Show Cars and Show Bikes. Long also interviews Black in a revealing feature about her passion for all things automotive.
“I’ve been an enthusiast of fast cars and bikes ever since I was in college, and my goal has always been to continue building unique cars and bikes that reflect my personality as well as the time, love, dedication and attention to detail that I’m known for,” says Long in the interview, which highlights a detailed photo set of his Award Winning, Sponsored Forester STi build. “Owning my Foz has been an incredible experience, as I knew nothing about Subarus three years ago when I started my build, and it has allowed me to make many friends, learn so much that I’m a subject matter expert on my particular SG Forester platform, and start a wildly successful private Subaru group on Facebook named The Subie Society.
The Group, which started because Long and his friends, with a passion for all things Automotive, as well as their various other hobbies, were tired of the negative experiences and Trolls that they found in other Facebook Groups. Long’s friends encouraged him to open his own group, which could serve as a nexus for the greater automotive community on Facebook, where members could share ideas, trade parts, help each other with their builds, post ‘How To” tutorials for unique mods, and be inclusive of every gender, age, and experience level, while enforcing a strict “No Troll” policy that separated them from other groups, and created a safe space for a much wider demographic. Because of this, the group became enormously successful, with Manufacturer Sponsors, Giveaways, a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and members sharing all kinds of hobbies, passions, and humor, and not just only Subaru information.
“It’s also the only Subaru group on Facebook filled with all my model friends who have participated in my enormously successful Forester Friday photo sets. For three years running, I have posted a photo set of my Foz with a different famous model every Friday, and shared it with the entire Subaru community as a way to bring some positivity to our Subarus and our community.”

French court rejects Mindgeeks appeal Pornhub remains blocked.

Mndgeek’s appeal to France’s constitutional court appears to have been denied. According to insiders, age verification of adult sites — or a nationwide block in France — appears to be next.
YouTube Bans Pornhub's Cahnnel The French news website laprovence, reported on this issue. The Court of Cassation, the highest French judicial court, refused this Thursday to address to the Constitutional Council the priority question of constitutionality (QPC) of the pornographic platform Pornhub, threatened with blocking by justice if it does not prevent access minors to its contents. The platform, belonging to the global porn giant MindGeek, is one of five sites given formal notice by Arcom (ex-CSA) at the end of 2021 to introduce age control for their visitors. Lack of reaction from the sites, Arcom asked the president of the court to order their blocking by the operators. Pornhub, which seized the Court of Cassation in early October - a QPC must first pass the filter of the Court of Cassation or the Council of State before being submitted to the Constitutional Council -, believes that the procedure followed by the Arcom does not comply with the constitutional principles of " legality of offenses and penalties " and of " freedom of expression and communication ", because the offense with which it is charged is not defined " in sufficiently clear and precise. " In its judgment, the Court of Cassation explains in particular that the " question posed is not of a serious nature. " It also considers that the infringement of freedom of expression by imposing the use of a device for verifying the age of the person accessing pornographic content is " necessary, appropriate, and proportionate to the objective of protecting minors ", thus closing QPC's request. The law of July 30, 2020, provides that a simple declaration of majority to access pornographic sites is no longer sufficient and that an age verification is necessary, but without specifying the process.
