Instead of combating the exploitation of children, Twitter employees focused their energy on silencing people with whom they disagreed, such as deleting doctors who deviated from the government and Big Pharma narrative on Covid, removing the sitting President of the United States Donald Trump, and suppressing the explosive Hunter Biden laptop story (which boosted then-candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 election).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesmanian.com\/blogs\/tesmanian-blog\/elon-musk-started-tackling-child-exploitation-on-twitter-after-years-of-the-platforms-passivity-under-the-previous-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tesmanian<\/a>, Eliza Bleu, an advocate for human trafficking victims and a survivor of it herself, said she tried to get Twitter to address the child porn on the app for two years, but execs refused to take any meaningful steps. In February 2022, Twitter implemented a reporting feature for child sexual abuse but a few months later removed it. It is unclear why the tech giant removed the feature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now Musk is shaking things up at Twitter. Within three weeks of acquiring the company, Musk fired useless Twitter employees, such as \u201ccensor chief\u201d Vijaya Gadde, and implemented real measures to counter the child sexual exploitation problem on the app. According to Bleu, Twitter has now removed several popular child porn hashtags and allows users to directly report posts for sexual abuse.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To those who aren\u2019t aware yet, last week Twitter did add a direct reporting option for child sexual exploitation. (ONLY on tweets with content images\/videos) this was not previously available and was a separate form that wasn\u2019t easy to find. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m grateful to see these changes. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AI88XdX9HW\">pic.twitter.com\/AI88XdX9HW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eliza (@elizableu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elizableu\/status\/1594158531015761920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 20, 2022<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>In a pre-Musk September Twitter thread, Bleu shared the heart-wrenching <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/01\/21\/twitter-sued-for-allegedly-refusing-to-remove-child-porn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">story<\/a> of a 13-year-old minor who \u201cbegged Twitter to remove a video sexually exploiting him.\u201d According to his family, Twitter execs refused despite the victim providing Twitter with his government ID proving he was a minor at the time. The abusive video had more than 160,000 views and more than 2,000 retweets, according to Bleu. The victim\u2019s lawsuit alleges that Twitter only deleted the video after the Department of Homeland Security demanded it be removed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Reminder: a 13 year old minor survivor begged Twitter to remove a video sexually exploiting him. <\/p>\n<p>Twitter reviewed the content and said NO. <\/p>\n<p>They had his government ID showing that he was a minor at the time. <\/p>\n<p>The video had over 160k views. Over 2k retweets.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eliza (@elizableu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elizableu\/status\/1566255230374842369?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 4, 2022<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Another child-abusing Twitter account the company reportedly didn\u2019t remove for four years had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/op-ed\/child-sex-abuser-twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accumulated<\/a> 290,000 followers by the time it was taken down.
