A cyber security and data analyst funding research into Twitter’s alleged child sexual abuse material (CSAM) problem said Saturday that the platform has nearly doubled its daily suspension rate on accounts that share exploitative content containing child pornography.
Andrea Stoppa, founder of cybersecurity group Ghost Data, had personally funded research into the issue earlier this year after receiving a tip about the problem’s severity. The report allegedly found more than 500 accounts soliciting child sex abuse material that appeared alongside or on profile pages of at least 30 major advertisers’ Twitter accounts, which led some of those companies to pull or pause their ad services from the social media platform.
Following his initial analysis last September, Stroppa and Twitter’s Trust and Safety team said the social media platform had updated a mechanism to detect past and present content related to CSAM at a much “faster, more efficient, and more aggressive” speed, which has approximately doubled the daily suspension rate of accounts promoting the egregious material.
“No mercy for those who are involved in these illegal activities,” Stroppa said, adding Twitter will find such “illicit” content and act accordingly despite when it had been published.
Child pornography and other sexual abuse material on Twitter has been documented on the platform for well over the last decade. Just last year, 86,666 CSAM reports were made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
When Elon Musk purchased the platform in October, he inherited two major lawsuits involving two minor survivors that were allegedly exploited on that platform. One such case garnered 160,000 views and over 2000 retweets that Twitter allegedly refused to remove the content despite the minor survivor begging for its removal while on the brink of suicide.

No wonder libtards were so upset to lose their phony utopia
Exactly what I was going to point out.
Saw a story the other night about how they’re all going to Mastodon. It was mentioned that you can sling a Greta meme on Mastodon without it landing in some area you’d really rather not be in.
I don’t know how he could have ‘inherited’ prior lawsuits.
yeah...
I never went up on twitter, but my nephew told me and showed me that Twitter was really kind of accessible of a lot of porn activity, porn influencers if you will, and naughty people that wanted to show off their naughty bits... all on Twitter... so I never went there.
“you can sling a Greta meme on Mastodon”
What is a Greta meme? (don’t tell me if it’s too disgusting.
“500 accounts soliciting child sex abuse material that appeared alongside or on profile pages of at least 30 major advertisers’ Twitter accounts,”
Does this mean major corps are actively supporting child sex trafficking? I don’t understand anything about Twitter or how it works. It couldn’t be that the corps’ ads just happen to appear on those bad sites/pages — they just happen to “land” there together?
Wasn’t one of those corps Verizon?
It probably IS nasty.
“I never went up on twitter, but my nephew told me and showed me that Twitter was really kind of accessible of a lot of porn activity, porn influencers if you will, and naughty people that wanted to show off their naughty bits... all on Twitter... so I never went there.”
I rotate between Freerepublic and Twitter frequently throughout the day. I do not recall ever seeing any nudity, and I know I haven’t seen any pornography, child or adult. I also would not know how to find it if I wanted to see it. Maybe it’s something that you have to look for. The “worst” I’ve seen are women in revealing clothes and there are some seriously distasteful comments, but pornography appears to be easily avoided.
The fact there is such a demand for this content is disheartening at best, and absolutely evil at worst!!
But, what really angers me is that I saw a report from our enemedia which originally reported that since Musk took over, there was a DOUBLE-INCREASE in child pornography! The way the story was titled and written made it sound like MUSK had allowed twice as many pedophiles loose on the Twitter world! But, if you looked closely, it was saying that there were DOUBLE the accounts being BANNED from TWITTER!!
I hate modern uranlists!
