Twitter has a long history of turning a blind eye to child porn on its site. I have been a witness to attempts to mass-report accounts on Twitter for posting videos of what appear to be minor children engaged in sex acts on the platform. Twitter doesn’t do much to stop it, though it claims that child porn is against its policies. Perhaps they are too busy banning Republicans to do much about the illegal activity on Twitter who knows?
But finally, a victim has come forward and has sued Twitter for facilitating his sexual abuse by refusing to remove “sexual exploitation material” from the platform. The lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in the Northern District of California states:
John Doe made a complaint about the videos to Twitter on Jan. 21, 2020, according to the complaint. Twitter responded and said that they needed him to confirm that he was the person in the videos and asked for a copy of Doe’s ID, which he sent. John Doe’s mother, referred to as Jane Doe, filed two complaints about the explicit material the next day and filed a police report.
“Thanks for reaching out. We’ve reviewed the content, and didn’t find a violation of our policies, so no action will be taken at this time,” Twitter allegedly said in a Jan. 28 email to Jane Doe.
