Twitter refused to take down child pornography because it didn’t ‘violate policies,’ lawsuit states

The Post Millennial

 
Twitter refused to remove explicit images and videos of an underaged sex trafficking victim because they “didn’t find a violation” of the platform’s policies, a federal lawsuit claims. 

The suit, which was filed by the teenaged victim and his mother in the Northern District of California on Wednesday, alleges that not only did Twitter leave the posts up, but also made money from them, reported the New York Post. The video clips that Twitter allegedly reviewed and deemed acceptable showed the then-13-year-old victim engaged in sex acts.
