Best gay porn twitter accounts
Politicians don’t want people to know they watch porn. There’s still no definitive proof as to what’s behind it all, and there’s a remote chance it could be hackers trying to cause mischief.īut here’s our conclusion: People like porn. The recent spate of unfortunate porn likes made us think the situation warranted a bit of investigation. Why Did You Make Me Read About Politicians And Porn? Some of them might get curious and check out the profile, have a bit of a cheeky scroll and in the process inadvertently like a tweet or two.
One former staffer told Junkee that another possibility is that politicians get followed by Twitter porn bots, which sends them a notification. “The idea of watching porn on Twitter as somehow protecting yourself from Freedom of Information is possibly just silly enough that it’s believed,” he said. Matthew Landauer, one of the brains behind Right To Know, a website that makes it super easy for people to lodge and browse Freedom of Information requests told Junkee that “given the lack of technical understanding that exists it wouldn’t surprise if all sorts of nonsense was passed around as sound advice”.
In those cases, a brief Twitter browse could be the perfect option. It’s not completely unfathomable that some of them might get tempted to watch some porn after hours (it’s worth noting that both the Pyne and Hunt likes occurred in the early hours of the morning). But politicians are (relatively) normal people. Now it seems like an obvious solution to all this might be just… not watching porn on a Parliamentary computer. Maybe they are making mischief over the plebiscite? Someone tried to hack my social media yesterday. Surprisingly, we weren’t able to get any politicians to confirm that they were using Twitter to watch porn in order to bypass transparency laws.īut we did speak to staffers in the Coalition, Labor and the Greens who all confirmed that their bosses were conscious of the fact that when they were viewing websites on Parliamentary assets, the data could be logged and published. Sure, it’s not the best user experience, but the advantage is the only website recorded in that instance would be, which wouldn’t turn any heads in an audit of MPs browsing habits. So how does Twitter fit into this? Well, if someone wanted to watch some porn but didn’t want to visit an actual porn website, they could just peruse the feeds of Twitter’s various porn accounts. That’s exactly what happened to one NSW minister back in 2010 - he was forced to resign after an audit found he’d visited adult and gambling websites on his office computer. If a politician was, for example, to visit PornHub while in their office or while using a Parliamentary issued laptop or phone, that visit could be logged and potentially published. That means politicians are hyper aware of the websites they’re visiting either on the Parliamentary network or on devices loaned to them by the Parliament, which usually includes a laptop, phone and iPad. Australia’s Freedom of Information regime is notoriously weak, but there have been examples where politicians have been forced to publish a list of websites they’ve visited.
