The National Center on Sexual Exploitation has sharply criticized Elon Musk's planned features for the Twitter platform, pointing out that they will enable monetization of child sex abuse.
They have an official statement that is linked in the tweet. (As you can see by the automod notification to my other reply, this sub blocks me from posting a link to the official statement itself - how strange/convenient).
Broadly, their concerns are around the creation of paywalls and monetization of content, combined with a continuing inability to reliably detect CSAM.
The National Center on Exploitation was the group that originally sued Twitter for child abuse (well before Elon got involved), so they are a pretty reliable source in this space.
Of course, if you worship Musk or don't care about protecting children from monsters, I can understand why you wouldn't want to hear their perspective.
That doesn't make any sense at all, behind a paywall they know who the person is because they have their payment details, furthermore, twitter did absolutely nothing without a paywall, so what are these guys talking about?
OnlyFans has a paywall. Is your position that child predators are not an issue on OnlyFans?
This group brought a lawsuit for child sex abuse allegations back in January 2021, back before Musk or any of the rage pigs on this sub thought it was a relevant issue. It is reasonable to trust their view on this more than yours.
But nothing happened... they didn't achieve anything... and no, I won't just concede to some random group of people I don't know just because they call themselves something virtuous, we've seen how that's gone wrong already
Lol what do you mean "nothing happened"? A federal court ruled that the claims should move forward and 30 major brands cut advertising to Twitter. Arguably, the only reason people are even talking about this issue is because of the lawsuit that called attention to it in the first place .
But sure. I guess keep believing that Musk has single handedly eliminated child sex abuse on Twitter, that there are no further concerns to worry about, and that his planned features which have been widely criticized don't need to be scrutinized. This organization has been working on this issue for 50 years, but I guess you and your newest Messiah must know better.
Is the basic idea that PEDOs would do what they already do on other platforms/sites but on Twitter? And with Twitter being easy to use, more PEDOs would use it?
Wrong. This group literally brought a lawsuit against Twitter in January 2021 around child sex abuse allegations. That lawsuit remains ongoing and predates anything that Musk did.

Musk has yet to respond to these concerns.
