Elon is aware of it, Twitter employees are claiming they posted the video was of a 13-year being forced to give fellatio to an Afghan migrant at knifepoint which isn't true. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1810089229629710803
Always will be too. States seek self preservation over principles stances. And any state that manages to be created with the principles first (Like the USA) will inevitably come to a point when the state will have to face those principles or abandon those principles to preserve itself at the cost of the people.
It's how they've perverted the entire system. It helps cops catch worthless low level criminals. It helps DAs win rates. It helps politicians talk about how many images were taken offline.
Which might be fine.. but who cares if you're not preventing new victims from being created in the first place?
The other horrific thing is the NCEMC does is whenever they find a known image of a child being abused, and they have previously identified the child, they notify them whenever they find one of these images. I guess because they like victimizing them several times more after they did fuck all to help them in the first place.
Meanwhile.. the whole system has it in for the poor pudding persons in our world.
If he's serious about free speech even if it's 'misinformation' she should just have the video removed and a community note put up not a full ban and he's likely going to have to do another round of purging from the obvious bad actors still in the company.
I will point out though, not just Sydney Watson, but basically all of the youtube crowd have a very bad habit of posting up whatever goes viral as fact without ever investigating it properly and it got particularly bad in Ukraine. Only a few of them owned up to that after the fact as well, TheQuartering being one of them which is why I do respect the guy's honesty even if I don't really watch his content anymore.
It's like I've posted before when it comes to stuff like this, if a story about a literal turd went viral, these guys would hop on the algorithm and start posting about it because that's how they make their money. It's one thing if you're honest about that but I've rapidly lost patience with it given that most of them are doing the same boring takes you could read from an average commenter in a couple of seconds compared to their 5 - 10 minute videos.
I'm not at all surprised their antics have bit them in the arse finally.
Edit: I double checked the context and we'll see what happens, I feel like I have to point out that Jordan Peterson had a total boomer moment once where he posted up Chinese BDSM claiming it was something the government was doing to people lol so I'm pretty cynical.

When big tech employees make statements/decisions like this they should be legally liable for slander
This. In fact any bans/censoring should be required to come with a public statement of the reason, opening the company up to those charges if untrue.
Won't happen. Laws are for plebs, not for those that assist the state.

And the very least Musk should fire them.
The replies to Elon show that people seem to care about the child's image being seen more than they do about the act being forced upon said child.
"Out of sight, out of mind" is not a phrase I'd say is worthwhile in dealing with something which is seemingly so wide spread.

I'll bet money that "government interrogation" is shockingly common in any Chinese BDSM scene and that they take some cues.
That should be easy for Elon to check. And when he catches them out in their lies I hope he does the right thing and fires them and their boss.
Man, it's frustrating that the only way we can get this kinda shit reversed is we literally have to tell Elon to fix it.
That moderation team is way too quick to pull the fucking trigger.
