The company also lacked tools to verify that creators and consumers of adult content were of legal age, the team found.

My guess is that they take the pornhub approach: ignore the problem as much as possible until you no longer can, while relying on user flagging that may or may not be acted on. The real question is what happens when trump tweets child porn

Twitter isn’t lacking in disinfo, toxicity, or stupidity by any means, but I’m pretty sure it’s facilitated fewer genocides than Facebook. Between the two, I’d rather see Meta go.

twitter went from 51 million in annual interest payments pre-buyout to over 1 billion. its revenue was 630 million. musk wildly overpaid and his attempts to draw blood from the stone are going to kill the site. especially since he visibly has no idea what the gently caress he's doing and has already alienated a ton of advertisers.

At this point, it's a race to see how Twitter ends. By users abandoning the platform or by a Twitter-ending bug caused by cuts to staff and infrastructure.
