The rise of digital platforms has transformed sexual commerce, raising questions about how sexual content is sold and regulated and on what terms at the intersection of several regulatory domains: pornography and sex work, user-generated content, and gig labor. This talk delves into empirical research that examines the evolving regulatory landscape of platformized sex work and adult content, often described as a regulatory ‘grey zone.’
