There is still plenty of Hunter Biden child porn on twitter too. Why hasn't Hunter Biden been arrested yet? (cause his dad is the president) Why hasn't Jack Dorsey been arrested yet for lying under oath?
Mods please

Re: Twitter sued for allegedly refusing to remove child porn
#12I've had this happen to me on Facebook. Found a disgusting video involving children, reported it, got a response that there's nothing wrong with it. It's like the people reviewing this stuff have only a second to decide if the content should be deleted.
If a person sees it at all. Twitter and Facebook are far too large to moderate effectively with humans. Most things are caught by automated image recognition, but that doesn't work for images not yet in the database.

#14Even as someone who's glad Biden is now president - it's a bit unnerving to be living in a time where a service bans the sitting united states president without batting an eye but engages in legal battles to defend the distribution of child pornography on their "open platform".
I guess people posting spicy takes on government happens to be more of an active risk to society than literal child predators?
Re: Twitter sued for allegedly refusing to remove child porn
#15This all sounds reasonable to me. Seems like the victim's first recourse should be through the Law not Twitter. >but the tech giant failed to do anything about it until a federal law enforcement officer got involved, the suit states. >A support agent followed up and asked for a copy of Doe’s ID so they could prove it was him and after the teen complied, there was no response for a week, the family claims. >Only after…
If it was me, I’d have probably gone straight to Twitter too. My thought would be that they’re hosting the content, so they’d probably be able to get it removed the fastest. It also wouldn’t occur to me that an agent wouldn’t find CP to violate their terms. I’m surprised that Twitter didn’t take it down as a CYA precaution while they verified it to be CP or not.

#16It's a story that's so completely outside of my personal experience that I cannot evaluate it
In 14 years of holding a Twitter account, I've never seen anything even close to such things on Twitter, and wouldn't use the platform if I did. If I were to see child pornography on Twitter, I would immediately report it to law enforcement and close my account
Well, I hope that poor child wins justice.

#17During all the recent debates regarding Parler, much was said about how Parler needed effective moderation like Twitter. This article is an important reminder that there is a lot more room for improvement in the moderation space and even companies that "do it right" are still making glaring mistakes. > We’ve reviewed the content, and didn’t find a violation of our policies, so no action will be taken at this time Thi…
>This is totally unacceptable.
And yet not at all surprising. These huge companies have a reputation for being faceless because they skimp on staffing their support teams and until the so-called "tech reckoning" have operated with virtual impunity.

The only facts being reported in this article is that someone made claims in a lawsuit.
> This is totally unacceptable. I wonder if there is some kind of legal liability that could apply here?
Yes. Both civil liability (under the fairly recent exceptions relating sex trafficking to 230 protection) and criminal liability (section 230 has never applied to criminal liability) are possible, for the kinds of things claimed in the lawsuit.
That civil liability is possible is, of course, almost certainly a factor in why the lawsuit was filed; while you can file a lawsuit where there is no available liability, it tends to be a waste of effort.
Of course, one would also do well to take claims made in a lawsuit with some skepticism. If those didn't often turn out to be untrue, we wouldn't need courts nearly as much as we do.
