OnlyBans

Created by a team of sex workers and allies, OnlyBans is an interactive game that critically examines the policing of marginalized bodies and sexual labor to teach people about discrimination faced by sex workers online. Players encounter content moderation algorithms, shadowbanning, “real name” policies, facial recognition software, and other threats based on actual experiences of sex workers. Featuring real images and stories from sex workers themselves, OnlyBans offers a speculative vision of how marginalized communities can unite to protest these unjust policies and create better alternatives.
