Twitter reinstated the account after some of its more than 500,000 followers complained that the account had been suspended for its political messaging.
Twitter under fire for reinstating account that posted child sex abuse::undefined
> Yoel Roth, the company’s former head of moderation and safety who resigned in November after Musk’s takeover, posted Wednesday on the Twitter competitor Bluesky that “it’s insane to write ‘we have zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation’ while also arbitrarily reinstating accounts that share” child sexual abuse material.
> Roth fled his home late last year after Musk, in tweets to his more than 100 million followers, suggested Roth had encouraged children to access adult material online, a misrepresentation of Roth’s graduate-school writing that exposed him to online harassment and death threats.
> “This guy blew up my life by saying I condone pedophilia, and then he turns around and does this,” Roth said on Bluesky.
A hit piece the lemmings will believe without a second thought.
Elon massively expanded CSAM-detection capabilities on Twitter and upped bans for it by 400% since he joined.
Fact - the unbanned user is an anti-pedophile activist who found the censored image on a news site, not knowing its original content, and posted it to solicit donations for the family.
Nothing could be detailed from the picture, but legally you are not allowed to post an image that was originally csam even if you turn it into a black jpeg. Both the original site and he were punished. Elon knew it was an innocent mistake, and in light of the good work he does against grooming in modern America, he unbanned him.
Then WaPo posted a hit article. Is it any coincidence that Washington Post is run by pedophiles?
I can't wait for musk to be arrested for distribution of CSAM because of his shitty moderation policy decisions because that's clearly what he wants to happen.
Elon Musk is just another gross white man who wants a manic pixie dream girl, minus the dreams. It's no surprise that he doesn't see a problem with this. He's a textbook predator, and the whole situation with Grimes made that abundantly clear.
I hope his next venture is selling guided tours in unregulated deep sea subs.
He's not impervious to criticism, he just thinks that he is. Massive negative press following massive negative press about his handling of the company and the loss of revenue is not going to make his shareholders happy, which is really what all he'd care about.
For Twitter at least, he doesn't have shareholders. He has investors, many of whom would like nothing more than for Twitter to die so that their citizens can't use it to coordinate political action against their regime.
He can pay to surround himself with yes-men all he wants, but that just makes any criticism that reaches him sting more. You can see it in action by the petty moves he makes against people and things he doesn't like.
