Hello, this whole thing was really weird to me when it first happened a few days ago specifically because I remember twitter has had this exact situation happen before. There was a hashtag for people calling twitter to ban these users, and they had been posting EXTREMELY blatant child pornography (clicking on an account and looking at it for as little as 2 seconds would show this), yet they were not banned for a solid 8+ hours. I tried to find reports of this happening from back then, and this is the most I could find http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/twitter-join-the-sunday-mirror-campaign-1295174 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/aug/13/twitter-failure-child-pornography

This is ABSOLUTELY not a new issue with twitter. The big thing I noticed when this happened was the date. This happened on a sunday overnight (please correct me if I'm wrong). The article above from theguardian? Written on a Monday. This might not seem like anything, but Sundays are notoriously rough for monitoring websites since that is when they will have the least hands on deck.

So this could likely mean that it's just a ring of pedophiles that do their work sun-monday night when nobody is on to ban people. But seeing as this has happened more than once without any action taken, what in the fuck are they doing as a ginormous tech company? Having extreme cp on their social media website for 8 hours at a time with a trending hash tag showing these accounts not being banned is absolutely insane, and having literally nobody on to look at reports of child abuse is abysmal for a tech giant such as twitter.

I thought this was worth bringing up, as I have seen nobody mention the past issues they've had

edit: im a dingus, this happened on a thursday night
