Recently, Elon Musk revealed the former team operating Twitter did virtually nothing to stop the rampant child exploitation on the platform.
Evidently they were too busy suspending and censoring Trump supporters.
To his great credit, called out these would be commissars for not protecting the kids:
It is a crime that they refused to take action on child exploitation for years!

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey responded to Elon’s tweet, and the two had an exchange:
No, it is not.
When Ella Irwin, who now runs Trust & Safety, joined Twitter earlier this year, almost no one was working on child safety.
She raised this with Ned & Parag, but they rejected her staffing request.
I made it top priority immediately.@ellagirwin

Well, now, we may know why child exploitation wasn’t on anyone’s “to-do list” for so many years.
It turns out Yoel Roth, the former head of Twitter’s “Trust and Safety,” has a disturbing past seeming to promote or at least condone child exportation, both online and in his PhD thesis.
Human trafficking survivor and advocate Eliza Bleu found Yoel’s unsettling 2010 tweet and shared it:
I think I may have found the problem @elonmusk https://t.co/rYGLzmSK0R

This is the “teacher/child sex” article Yoel shared from far-left site Salon.
Elon then shared a snippet of Yoel’s disturbing PhD thesis, where he appears to argue in favor of children having access to online adult services:

It’s rather unsettling that this was the man in charge of deleting child exploitation material off of Twitter. The only focus that team had was to protect the progressive religion, even if that meant throwing innocent kids to the cyber wolves.
