Elon Musk has been lauded for his pledge to crack down on Twitter's longstanding problem with child abuse imagery. Yet such illegal content is still easy to find—and being shared freely—across the platform.
found dozens of users offering to buy and sell child sexual abuse images and videos. One offered footage of nude children ages 5 to 17. Another mentioned an exchange of images of children being abused on Telegram. Both these tweets, as well as nearly 30 others either promoting or seeking CSAM, were posted in the last week.
Other questionable hashtags were still searchable. One containing an abbreviation long associated with CSAM returned ads, including one containing the image of what appeared to be an underage girl, offering an RFID tag that could be scanned and promised to take the user through to a CSAM-themed website.also found multiple Spanish-language users offering what appeared to be images of minor girls over on Telegram, with Spanish hashtags attached.
Even some hashtags that were ostensibly banned before Musk took over Twitter returned a handful of problematic results. While no new posts were visible when searching one such hashtag, one popped up from June in which a user said they were looking for images of newborns. That user was still on Twitter as of Tuesday. With only three posts, all carrying the same text and image, it’s possible they were a bot, another bugbear Musk has promised to tackle. It’s unclear why the account remains online.
“I don't see any meaningful action taken by Musk so far,” said Carolina Christofoletti, a CSAM threat analyst for TRM Labs and researcher at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. Shethat the issue “is far bigger than a bunch of hashtags” and “much bigger than ‘easy to catch’ fishes.” She noted that the wiping of some troubling CSAM hashtags and other associated actions “were all things done under the previous leadership.
