Elon Musk and a lot of other folks have been talking a great deal about Twitter’s failures when it comes to protecting children, to not contributing to child-trafficking, and more in light of the Twitter Files. On Saturday he went for the throat, calling out former head of ‘Trust & Safety’ Yoel Roth not just for his failures at the job, but for his SICK views.
Hey remember how they went after the word groomer? Banning people for it? You can BET that those emails and internal communications are going to come out.
It is not just a social media company, said Musk on Saturday, it’s “a crime scene.”
Remember from my earlier post that Jack Dorsey is scrambling on the subject.
this is false.

After a few days of this, noting the past Trust & Safety group’s failure to protect children, Musk got a reply from a trafficking survivor and children’s advocate, who pointed out something very disturbing.

Musk replied “This explains a lot.” And then dropped a BOMB.
Looks like Yoel is arguing in favor of children being able to access adult Internet services in his PhD thesis: pic.twitter.com/1NiBohjhMQ

Any questions left about why they cracked down on the word “groomer?”
Didn’t think so.
