Ten million! They\u2019ve all been banned now, of course, but Stroppa discovered that, under Twitter\u2019s old management, whenever the content moderation team got a complaint about CSE, they just deleted a tweet or two, but then allowed the degenerate accounts to keep operating normally and churning out despicable child abuse material.<\/p>\n<p>All the tools Twitter had developed to shadow-ban, de-accelerate, un-search, and flag tweets with ridiculous content warnings, those tools were never deployed against the people who were industriously and illegally traumatizing kids. In other words, people who were committing REAL ACTUAL illegal conduct. Twitter didn\u2019t crack down on that.

It\u2019s fair to hold Roth personally responsible for years of exploited children, since he was in a position to prevent it, but didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no valid excuse. It wasn\u2019t an accident. Roth\u2019s failure to moderate CSE can only be the result of an intentional choice.<\/p>\n<p>Roth spent all his time shutting down tweets and tweeters. That was his JOB. He had a vast staff with which to do it. He worked hard at it. But he DIDN\u2019T do his job when it came to pedophiles and CSE. For some reason. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s determinative, but for context, Roth is gay. Super gay.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry too much about him though; he\u2019ll be okay. Roth will probably burrow his way into a high-paying tenured professorship and infest some marxist college somewhere. He\u2019ll get away with it. But don\u2019t get hung up on that.<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, Roth is small potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>Think instead about all those content-moderation meetings with the FBI, DHS, and the CIA. Consider all the reports U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agents submitted about law-abiding citizens. Ponder all the time spent coordinating between Twitter\u2019s content moderation team and the teams of well-paid civil servants employed full-time ostensibly to protect the defenseless children of this great nation.<\/p>\n<p>But they DIDN\u2019T protect the children of this country, though, did they?<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the FBI and DHS never spent one single minute on child sexual exploitation. That wasn\u2019t on the agenda of any of those meetings and reports and calls and zooms. They didn\u2019t have time for KIDS. They were too busy playing politics. They KNEW about the CSE on Twitter. They just didn\u2019t CARE about the CSE on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Or worse.<\/p>\n<p>THAT is the biggest story crawling out of the smoldering remains of the Twitter Files\u2019 dumpster fire. The intentional, unforgivable, inexplicable dereliction of duty of the United States\u2019 law enforcement and intelligence agencies, who totally abdicated their proper duties in a vain pursuit of self-preservation, because they were worried President Trump would get to the bottom of their own dissolute, depraved, and debauched interests.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI is 1,000 times more morally culpable for systemic child abuse than is Yoel Roth, which is really saying something. The Twitter Files already prove it. There\u2019s no legitimate excuse for the FBI\u2019s total failure to investigate and prosecute child porn purveyors and kiddie traffickers, when the agency had so much intimate access to Twitter, if not outright control of the platform.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no legitimate excuse for why the FBI prioritized cracking down on lawful tweets about covid vaccines and election suspicions over rampant illegal child pornography and criminally explicit abuse. None.<\/p>\n<p>The only rational conclusion can be that the FBI is no longer a law-enforcement agency. It\u2019s a political secret police force that covers for pedophiles.<\/p>\n<p>This explosive story is only getting started.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeeandcovid.com\/p\/c-and-c-news-saturday-december-10?utml\">https:\/\/www.coffeeandcovid.com\/p\/c-and-c-news-saturday-december-10?utml<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The biggest scandal in human history is emerging from the Twitter files, and nobody\u2019s connected the dots yet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-149656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=149656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149656\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=149656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=149656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=149656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
