Twitter refused to take down widely shared pornographic images and videos of a teenage sex trafficking victim because an investigation “didn’t find a violation” of the company’s “policies,” a scathing lawsuit alleges.
The federal suit, filed Wednesday by the victim and his mother in the Northern District of California, alleges Twitter made money off the clips, which showed a 13-year-old engaged in sex acts and are a form of child sexual abuse material, or child porn, the suit states.
Twitter suspended yet another stack of conservative accounts. This occurred less than two weeks after the hashtag “hang Mike Pence” was allowed to trend on the platform for a whole night and hit over 14,000 tweets.
Twitter shares—since President Donald Trump’s permanent ban—slid even more on Monday.

On Jan. 6, during the Joint Session of Congress, the company’s shares were trading at $53.26. At this point, Twitter is down about 17 percent so far in 2021.

In a recent thread on his own platform, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey discussed the recent suspension of President Donald Trump, stating that he believes it was the right decision and that the mass blacklisting of Trump by the Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe was not coordinated, writing “More likely: companies came to their own conclusions or were emboldened by the actions of others.”

Social media giants Facebook and Twitter have collectively seen $51.2 billion in combined market value wiped out over the last two trading sessions since they banned President Donald Trump from their platforms following the U.S. Capitol breach.
When Twitter and Facebook decided to ban President Donald Trump, censor the New York Post, and start erasing other people and institutions from their platforms, they started down a path which will have enormous consequences for them and for America.
Barton Thorne, the principal of Cordova High School, told students during morning announcements that they needed to be aware of the censorship happening on social media.
“I’m not going to tell you what to think, I just want to help you think,” he told students on a video that was later posted on YouTube.
“This isn’t about Trump,” he said. “This is about speech.”
Twitter chief Jack Dorsey considered the messaging platform’s ban of US President Donald Trump was a right move, but said it sets a “dangerous” precedent and represents a failure to promote healthy conversation on social networks.
The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that Federal authorities revealed that the deadly Capitol Hill attack on Jan. 6 may have been partially coordinated using social media platform Twitter.
Of late, much attention has been focused on acts of censorship by Twitter. What has garnered far less attention is what Twitter chooses not to censor, and the examples are shocking both in content and in the hypocrisy that Big Tech shows in its effort to destroy Twitter’s competitor, Parler.
