Two years ago I provided Twitter comms with a hashtag that was being used to trade child porn on this app. Despite all the Elon fanfare… it’s as active as ever. There’s even a photo of a little girl promoting the abuse material she’s “starring” in. It’s been up for 8 days.
As of *13 minutes ago* there is someone offering pics/vids of babies up to 5 years old, as well as material of mentally handicapped children. Twitter has had what they needed for years to solve this problem. It wasn’t solved then. It hasn’t yet been solved now.
Proofs. All Twitter was focused on at the time was trying to get me to amend an article I’d written on it to include comment on their STRONG commitment to blah blah blah blah 🤪
For some education: How this tag works is that predators and sellers will use it to indicate they have child abuse files. Often, they’ll also post screencaps of a drop box showing they have “the goods.” These are from two active sellers. Note censorship in left pic.
child sexual abuse material sellers will often also request a potential buyer send them child abuse material in order to get access to the drop boxes as “insurance” they are not cops. such as below: (This guy has over 4 TB of CP)
this individual wanted a swap of child sexual abuse material. 800GB in exchange for 800GB. In less than 24 hours of being on Twitter, he found a partner he’s exchanged with! That’s almost 2TB of child porn (approx. 500,000 images) circulating from this ONE post alone.
Small, but promising, update: The head of Twitter safety reached out directly to me about an hour ago. After a short exchange, the account with the photo of the little girl has been suspended. Finally 🥲
@Slatzism My god. These children. And we are here pontificating in Balenciaga when this happens for real. Glad someone reached out. Small victories
@alisaglem @Slatzism Even Balenciaga is real.. it's just the in public face of the deeper evil... Child predators deserve the wall.
@Shadowsandy @alisaglem @Slatzism The wall is too easy. I’d prefer ants. Or bees. Or starving rats. 🩸
@Moose1865 @Shadowsandy @Slatzism I like starving rats
