he child sex abuse lawsuit against Twitter has gained a plaintiff, after another young man has come forward. Twitter has been knowingly profiting from the distribution of predatory content on their platform, but that isn’t the most disturbing detail. What’s most strange is that Twitter was approached about this content before the lawsuit, and refused to act on it in spite of the obvious violations of their terms of service. Money is being made every time content is viewed, and this holds the key to why this lawsuit has to move forward, and why Twitter is playing innocent as children are abused.

A second plaintiff has joined a federal lawsuit against Twitter, alleging that the social media giant knowingly refused to remove images of his sexual abuse as a child.

“These two young men have suffered severe anguish and trauma at the hands of Twitter,” said Lisa Haba, a partner at the Haba Law Firm. “Twitter had everything it needed to do the right thing and prioritize the safety and privacy of these children before its own profits. Our lawsuit seeks to hold Twitter accountable for knowingly profiting from the sexual abuse and trafficking of children and the re-victimization of these two boys.” Read more…
