    Twitter is also extremely concerning, you fucking idiot. Maybe you shouldn’t have slashed the team responsible for moderating child abuse material on twitter.

    On Musk’s Twitter, users looking to sell and trade child sex abuse material are still easily found

    It’s unclear just how many people remain at Twitter to address CSAM after Musk enacted several rounds of layoffs and issued an ultimatum that led to a wave of resignations. Musk has engaged some outside help, and the company said in December that its suspension of accounts for child sexual exploitation had risen sharply. A representative for the U.S. child exploitation watchdog the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said that the number of reports of CSAM detected and flagged by the company remains unchanged since Musk’s takeover.

    Twitter also disbanded the company’s Trust and Safety council, which included nonprofits focused on addressing CSAM.

    Musk Pledged to Cleanse Twitter of Child Abuse Content. It’s Been Rough Going.

    Over 120,000 views of a video showing a boy being sexually assaulted. A recommendation engine suggesting that a user follow content related to exploited children. Users continually posting abusive material, delays in taking it down when it is detected and friction with organizations that police it.

    All since Elon Musk declared that “removing child exploitation is priority #1” in a tweet in late November.

    This guy is such a fucking clown.
