(LONDON, UK) ? Lexi Lowe and Jasmine Jae have appeared on Channel 4 News to discuss their use of Twitter as a promotional tool for part of an investigation by Channel 4 into the extent of Twitter?s porn community.

The show aired during the prime-time 7pm show on Channel 4 on Tuesday 17th February. The piece showed segments of Lexi and Jasmine in lingerie during a shoot together for Mayfair magazine, a Paul Raymond publication, which had been filmed a few days prior. Geoff White, the network?s technology producer, can be seen giving a piece to camera about the porn industry?s prolific use of Twitter whilst Lexi and Jasmine are pictured in the background during the softcore shoot.

During the interview Jasmine told Channel 4 News: ?When I first came into the industry one of the first pieces of advice was to get on Twitter. It?s about building your profile, you can see who?s shooting and it?s a good way of contacting people. Ninety-seven per cent of the work I?ve got is me approaching people and them approaching me on Twitter.?

Collectively Lexi and Jasmine have in excess of 120,000 Twitter followers who can enjoy the daily tweets. Lexi explained how she tries to deter any under-age followers herself: ?You can have a warning which comes up every time you post a picture which says click if you want to see it. So it doesn?t just come up on someone?s screen. They have to click to see it. That?s as censored as Twitter gets. I try to be clear on my bio that it?s an 18-plus account.?

Mark Hassell of Paul Raymond publications added: ?I think Twitter should look at filtering and putting in an 18+ restriction. I think everyone in the adult industry would think that?s the right thing. We have children and younger family members and don?t want them seeing stuff that is too full-on and inappropriate.?

The networks investigation concluded that ?roughly one in every thousand tweets is a pornographic image with as many as 500,000 sexual images posted daily, including images of hardcore and extreme sexual practices?

Speaking about people?s reaction since the show aired Lexi said ?I gained a few hundred followers in the space of 5 minutes whilst it aired?. Lexi continued ?Appearing on the news was a far bigger promotional tool for me than Twitter, the news piece very clearly showed my Twitter profile so it was easy for viewers to find me?

Jasmine added ?The feedback has been mostly positive, of course you have the usual anti-porn propaganda but in 2015 I think most people are well aware that porn is available on the internet for free. I think the majority of people would agree that better parental control is needed instead of censoring adults?

The results of the photo-shoot as seen being shot on Channel 4 will be showcased in the March issue of Mayfair magazine on sale March 6th 2015 and will feature both Lexi and Jasmine on the cover of the prestigious top-shelf magazine. A digital copy will be available to purchase from Digitalmagazines.xxx

Well done to you both for doing that.

Its good when people speak up for the business and offer insight that we in the business do care so I hope you dont mind me using your links and quoting you where I can.

If we don't defend how we choose to make a living then we shouldn't be surprised when agencies of censorship steam roller us to further their own agendas to pass laws like what was witnessed recently in December



I was surprised to find many people in this business have no idea what is going on and think the lack of work is a down to piracy and the recession whilst sites have been forced to close or face huge fines from OFCOM, age verification violations and even most recently a model was forced to close her Clips4Sale account because it wasnt "worth the aggro"

Everyone in this business should know whats going on and legally what they are doing. Ignorance to this has massive consequences. HardGlam was hit with a 50k fine (says ?1500 in article)

There is a wave of censorship and control going on right now and from my experience rowing with radical feminists on social networks it is largely down to simply being ignorant to how the business is.

Thanks to Lexi and Jasmine and everyone who has spoken up including Zara DuRoses

Do check out my podcast The Naked Truth podcast . I do this to keep those who are interested informed and also to avoid repeating myself so I can focus on other things.

There is only one site that has taken on ATVOD and won and wont be harrassed by them again because of it. How many people want that hassle? If you choose to pack up an leave it allows the agents of censorship the powers to pass laws tht give them powers to impose hefty fines. Work is in progress right now to oppose this but it needs support. Sign up to and follow @pornpanic , @obscenitylawyer and me @nakedtruthguy
