Twitter

For those of us who have filters on our internet to block dangerous content for our kids (and ourselves), this site should not be allowed through your filters. It took about 2 minutes to find adult content on the site. Not the bikini pics, but full nudity. Not just nudity, but videos with the whole sexual act (minus the dating, of course). Even with the filters I employ for my own house, blocking the dangerous keywords, it took about 10 minutes to find seriously adult videos. It was probably staged, but the video that sickened me enough to turn it off was the rape of a sleeping girl. Twitter allowed this stuff. And it's not just some rogue posters making this content available for a couple hours and getting their accounts disabled. The help file written by Twitter gives all kinds of stipulations on what kind of adult content is allowed. The only requirement is that the user who uploads it add a tag that says it's not safe for children, which there were many posts that had no such tag / filter. And the only thing it does is make you click the button that says you want to see it. And what teenage boy doesn't? What grown man wouldn't have the impulse? The administrators of twitter care more about the adult content "artists" than they do about the innocence of children. This site should be behind every adult content block there is. From Google search to the ones that come with the ISPs. Every router should block twitter as an adult site. Cleanbrowsingdns.org should block it. When a government passes a law against obscenity, twitter should make the list of sites to disallow. Of course, it's possible to have an account that doesn't show the adult stuff. You could follow Trump and be safe. I'm sure that most of your friends will not be posting those things. But unlike Facebook, you have to actively avoid exploring the site. Unlike Instagram, you can't just leave your kids alone with the program. It's more like a start up social media company who can't find the money to pay people to remove adult content. Like MeWe, but even they have gotten better in the last couple years. They require admin approval for sites with adult content. Twitter spreads it around for all to see. No approval. No firewall. No filters. No consequences. Horrible site.

Not only is it forbidden for kids under 13 to use this site, its for good reason. Twitter is extremely toxic, studies show it is damaging to mental health, and its filled with porn, creeps, drug addicts and violent individuals who would love nothing more than a child to reveal their personal information. Numerous children have been kidnapped, abused, or driven to suicide as a result of using sites like this. Please keep your children off social media. I've had predators come after my own kids, just glad I taught them how to keep their personal info private.
