Twitter pornography6/7/2023 Twitter reported more than 65,000 instances in 2020. Facebook alone reported 20,307,216 instances of child exploitative content in 2020 alone. ![]() In addition, we’d recommend that Twitter eliminate all sexually exploitive images that victimize people,” Benjamin Bull, general counsel for NCOSE, told Motherboard.Īs the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) details in its annual report, social media companies like Twitter and Facebook regularly report child sexual exploitation content on their platforms. “For a start, Twitter should comply with its own 'zero-tolerance policy' by eliminating all child sexual abuse material from its platform, which it currently doesn’t do. They claim that despite their efforts to get the videos removed by contacting Twitter and the police, the tweets stayed up for nine days, and accumulated 167,000 views and 2,223 retweets. In the lawsuit, NCOSE claims that when the men were 13 years old, a sex trafficker manipulated them into sending sexual images of themselves on Snapchat the videos were then posted to Twitter. And while that definitely sucks and requires some maneuvering, it does not constitute a looming NSFW ban on the service.With a court decision in mid-August, the case was allowed to move forward. For accounts who post primarily adult content, Twitter sometimes makes it more difficult to find their account handles, and even sometimes makes it impossible to search the account's tweets using the in-app tool. XBIZ surmised - and we are inclined to agree - that this is simply verbalizing the app's ongoing practice of shadowbanning. The Twitter spokesperson we spoke to said that the policy has always been there, "we have just clarified the language." What this essentially means is that, this is something that Twitter has long done, and is now putting words to it. One new clause says "We may also remove or refuse to distribute any Content on the Services, limit distribution or visibility of any Content on the service, suspend or terminate users, and reclaim usernames without liability to you." The "limit distribution or visibility of any Content on the service" is an update that will go into effect on January 1, 2020. One aspect of the TOS that did get an update in wording that might be pertinent to those who post porn was pointed out by XBIZ. As such, the news about Twitter trickled around social media, was amplified by Daily Dot and Gizmodo, and then exploded. YouTube similarly doesn't allow sexual content. Twitter has become a slight Wild Wild West of major social platforms given that Facebook and Instagram have completely banned not only sexual content but most content that could in any way be construed as sexual. Last week, reports begin to surface that a new Twitter Terms of Service (TOS) update set to be implemented in January 2020 signaled an impending ban on pornography on the famously open social platform. So it's understandable that people are incredibly sensitive when it looks as if another platform is headed in that direction. The most impactful assaults on this type of content were the dismantling of the Craigslist personal classifieds section and Tumblr's full out ban on adult content. ![]() ![]() The past three to five years have seen a widespread darkening wave of censorship in terms of sex-related content on the internet.
