How to move an Overton Window
Twitter's head of Trust and Safety really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, liked porn
(The following are all from Leftism’s thread.)
Totally normal thing coming from a guy who was supposed to deal with things like child safety at Twitter, yet failed to do so.
What’s particularly frightening, though, is watching the media circle the wagons around this guy. Just look at these Google results for his name!
Remember— the MOMENT Yoel Roth left, Twitter closed down a lot of child abuse material on the site.
Reminder: a 13 year old minor survivor begged Twitter to remove a video sexually exploiting him.
Twitter reviewed the content and said NO.
They had his government ID showing that he was a minor at the time.
The video had over 160k views. Over 2k retweets.
Last thing: great tweet by Jesse Singal here, who seems to have an allergy to what I thought was standard journalistic practice of “looking into things”.
If you read it carefully Roth, who to be clear strikes me as insufferable and the sort of dude I don't want making content decisions, is saying youth are already on Grindr and the strategy should be keeping them *safe*. As a harm reduction thing it isn't weird or creepy.

I'm looking forward to Graham wishing us a Merry Christmas...in a tweet.
Bobby Lee doesn't talk about porn as much
