Description
An exploration of how heteronormative bias is deeply embedded in the internet, hidden in
algorithms, keywords, content moderation, and more. A Next Big Idea Club nominee.In The Digital
Closet, Alexander Monea argues provocatively that the internet became straight by suppressing
everything that is not, forcing LGBTQIA+ content into increasingly narrow channels—rendering it
invisible through opaque algorithms, automated and human content moderation, warped
keywords, and other strategies of digital overreach. Monea explains how the United States’ thirtyyear
“war on porn” has brought about the over-regulation of sexual content, which, in turn, has
resulted in the censorship of much nonpornographic content—including material on sex education
and LGBTQIA+ activism. In this wide-ranging, enlightening account, Monea examines the cultural,
technological, and political conditions that put LGBTQIA+ content into the closet.Monea looks at
the anti-porn activism of the alt-right, Christian conservatives, and anti-porn feminists, who
became strange bedfellows in the politics of pornography; investigates the coders, code, and
moderators whose work serves to reify heteronormativity; and explores the collateral damage in
the ongoing war on porn—the censorship of LGBTQ+ community resources, sex education
materials, art, literature, and other content that engages with sexuality but would rarely be
categorized as pornography by today’s community standards. Finally, he examines the internet
architectures responsible for the heteronormalization of porn: Google Safe Search and the data
structures of tube sites and other porn platforms. Monea reveals the porn industry’s deepest,
darkest secret: porn is boring. Mainstream porn is stuck in a heteronormative filter bubble, limited
to the same heteronormative tropes, tagged by the same heteronormative keywords. This
heteronormativity is mirrored by the algorithms meant to filter pornographic content, increasingly
filtering out all LGBTQIA+ content. Everyone suffers from this forced heteronormativity of the
internet—suffering, Monea suggests, that could be alleviated by queering straightness and
introducing feminism to dissipate the misogyny.
