AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOnly weeks after banning then-President Donald Trump along with tens of thousands of right-wing accounts, Twitter now faces a lawsuit for allegedly refusing to remove child porn from its platform.A 17-year-old sex trafficking victim identified only as John Doe reportedly asked the social media company to remove pictures and videos of him engaging in sex acts. Doe was 13 years old at the time.On Jan. 28, 2020, Twitter replied to Doe, saying it “didn’t find a violation” of the company’s policies, the lawsuit claims, according to the .Advertisement - story continues belowAccording to the suit filed Wednesday, the photos and videos were first taken when John Doe was approached by sex traffickers on the messaging app Snapchat.Initially, the traffickers posed as a 16-year-old female classmate of Doe’s.Trending:After persuading Doe into sending nude photographs, the traffickers used them as blackmail, threatening to share them with his parents, coach and pastor unless Doe sent more graphic photos and videos of himself and other children performing sex acts, the suit claims, according to the Post.After blocking the traffickers, Doe found that the photos and videos had resurfaced on Twitter.Advertisement - story continues belowHe and his mother allegedly reported the photos and videos multiple times to no avail, with eventually sending back a statement saying, “Thanks for reaching out. We’ve reviewed the content, and didn’t find a violation of our policies, so no action will be taken at this time.”It wasn’t until an agent from the Department of Homeland Security intervened that the posts were taken down on Jan. 30, the suit claims.Has Twitter been consistent with its policies?Yes: 6% (12 Votes)No: 94% (206 Votes)Filed by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, along with two law firms, the suit says that “only after this take-down demand from a federal agent did Twitter suspend the user accounts that were distributing the CSAM and report the CSAM to the National Center on Missing and Exploited Children.”“This is directly in contrast to what their automated reply message and User Agreement state they will do to protect children.”Although these reports indicate Twitter may have been slow to ban accounts sharing child sex abuse material, the social media platform was quick to ban tens of thousands of right-wing accounts that reportedly shared the QAnon conspiracy theory following the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion.Advertisement - story continues below“These accounts were engaged in sharing harmful QAnon-associated content at scale and were primarily dedicated to the propagation of this conspiracy theory across the service,” the company .Additionally, the company for alleged “incitement of violence,” although whether the former president’s tweets constituted “incitement of violence” .Related:The Western Journal reached out to Twitter regarding the lawsuit and received the following statement in response:“Twitter has zero-tolerance for any material that features or promotes child sexual exploitation.
