Twitter, Censorship and CSE: An Ugly Truth

January 8, 2021; just two days after the “Insurrection” of the Capital, began the first wave of the Twitter Purge. 75,000 conservatives found they had been permanently suspended from Twitter for “Spam and Platform Manipulation”. Most never received a warning. Jack Dorsey went on to say it was because our “speech” incites violence or hate offline. To sum it up, our political views don’t line up with the group think so we must be silenced. I’m here to say…..I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!

Warning, subject matter ahead may trigger survivors of CSE.

*CSE=Child Sexual Exploitation

*CSEM= Child Sexual Exploitation Material

Link to Twitter’s policy on CSE

Let’s start with Twitter’s public policy on CSE and CSEM:

“We have a zero-tolerance child sexual exploitation policy on Twitter.
Twitter has zero tolerance towards any material that features or promotes child sexual exploitation, one of the most serious violations of the Twitter Rules. This may include media, text, illustrated, or computer-generated images. Regardless of the intent, viewing, sharing, or linking to child sexual exploitation material contributes to the re-victimization of the depicted children. This also applies to content that may further contribute to victimization of children through the promotion or glorification of child sexual exploitation. For the purposes of this policy, a minor is any person under the age of 18. “ So far, so good.

Next, what does Twitter consider a violation of that policy

Any content that depicts or promotes child sexual exploitation including, but not limited to:
• visual depictions of a child engaging in sexually explicit or sexually suggestive acts
• illustrated, computer-generated or other forms of realistic depictions of a human child in a sexually explicit context, or engaging in sexually explicit acts
• sexualized commentaries about or directed at a known or unknown minor
• links to third-party sites that host child sexual exploitation material

The following behaviors are also not permitted:
• sharing fantasies about or promoting engagement in child sexual exploitation;
• expressing a desire to obtain materials that feature child sexual exploitation;
• recruiting, advertising or expressing an interest in a commercial sex act involving a child, or in harboring and/or transporting a child for sexual purposes;
• sending sexually explicit media to a child;
• engaging or trying to engage a child in a sexually explicit conversation;
• trying to obtain sexually explicit media from a child or trying to engage a child in sexual activity through blackmail or other incentives;
• identifying alleged victims of childhood sexual exploitation by name or image; and
• promoting or normalizing sexual attraction to minors as a form of identity or sexual orientation.

Unfortunately, Twitter does not follow its own policy. While conservatives were being suspended for sharing what Twitter labels as speech that incites violence, accounts that are distributing CSEM are left untouched. Yes, you read that right, CSEM is distributed on Twitter. They know they will not be removed until a report is made. Even then it can take months to get those accounts removed. All it takes is # and you’ll find yourself in the dark underbelly of Twitter. A place where the most horrific abuses are being perpetrated against the most innocent of us. No, this is not some “conspiracy theory” concocted by the alt-right or any other fringe groups. It is very real and happening right under our noses.

I know this because I am an online pedophile hunter and my main hunting ground is Twitter. I have seen with my own eyes the horrific abuses perpetrated against children as young as infants. The first time I came across an infant, it was like my soul cracked. I was sickened, broken and enraged. How could something like THAT make it on to a public forum like Twitter???? How did it not violate ToS?? It was, without any doubt whatsoever a BABY BEING RAPED!! I was naïve then. I would come to learn that would not be the first time I would see that and it would not be the worst thing I would see.

There is a lawsuit that has been brought against Twitter by two minors whom have had CSEM of them distributed on Twitter. Even after they were able to prove those were pictures of them, Twitter allowed those pictures to stay up and found “No Violation”. Twitter is using 47 U.S. Code Section 230 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230) to defend themselves. Section 230, in the simplest terms: says no internet-based service can be held responsible for what a user may say or do. This is exactly why section 230 needs to be repealed. I believe if it were to be repealed, we would find that they can write algorithms to detect CSEM. I also believe they could write those algorithms now but will not as they make money off those accounts. They make that money in ad revenue. Just about every account I find contains at least one ad. Advertising services make up 3.2 billion dollars or 86% of the money Twitter makes. Here are a few links I found on how ad revenue works for Twitter: https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/120114/how-does-twitter-twtr-make-money.asp and https://fourweekmba.com/how-does-twitter-make-money/ . I will do more research and go deeper into the money aspect in a future post.

John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 are only two of the thousands of children that have CSEM of them distributed on Twitter. As I mentioned above I’ve seen victims as young as infants being abused. It is not just men that are abusers. I’ve seen women, “mothers” abusing their children almost as often as men. As mothers we’re supposed to want to protect children from the darkness in this world, it takes a special evil to be the one perpetrating that darkness. The worst one so far lies with the vasectomy account. Little boys, referred to only as “dogs” being mutilated for the sick pleasures of grown men and women. Back in Nov of 2020 I came across another particularly disgusting account. Remember the rule about evading suspension? That rule doesn’t seem to apply to CSE accounts either. There is an account I started tracking back in November. I would tag and report it and it would come down. Two to three days later it would back with a new account. It was obvious it was run by the same person because it would have the exact same media with the exact same language and #s. On one hand I’m glad he makes it so easy for me to find him, on the other I’m enraged because he was on his fourteenth account the last time I found and reported him. Fourteen accounts from Nov. to March, how has his IP address not been banned after the first few times? How has he not been caught yet?? How is CSEM “slipping through the cracks” when they have the ability to remove a post for “wrong think” almost instantly?

With this blog I hope to answer those questions and any others that may pop up along the. Mostly I hope to bring awareness to the dark deeds happening on Twitter and other social media sites. Instagram, Tik Tok, Snap Chat and Facebook all have their own issues with CSE and it’s high time we as society stand together to protect our most precious resource, our children. We must hold these platforms accountable for the crimes they are complicit in. We must let them know we will not stand for it….OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT FOR SALE!!! I invite you back to my corner of the shadows where I hope to shine a light on despicable crimes against children.
