I'm pretty sure this got posted before (maybe for apple, or slightly different headline), and flagged. I can't imagine why this would get flagged, but I think there's a really solid question here. It feels pretty fair to enforce the rules to ensure that this behavior is not allowed on platforms.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that you had a daughter. The boys at school are just being boys, amirite, and they generate nudes of your daughter and share them. Your daughter of course is unaware of this, but a week later the pictures have spread to a wide enough circle that someone shows the pictures to her. She's humiliated and emotionally devestated. She feels like people have been a little weird around her all week. A particular hallway taunt that seemed random suddenly makes awful sense. They've all been looking at nudes of her! She now feels like nobody will ever look at her the same way again. She's afraid to go to school now. She's clearly depressed, her usual faith in humanity suddenly absent. Over and over and over she wonders to herself "what did I do wrong?"

But she didn't do anything wrong except exist. She asks you why there's no consequences for anyone involved. Why are there more and more girls like her every day and the adults act like it's fine? You are at a loss for words.

Because no, if you're the victim, it's not fucking fine. There's nothing fine about wrecking her life being a product for sale to make Elon even richer.

Same reason that apple did not ban Facebook despite repeated workarounds of user privacy measures. Too-big-to-fail.

If Twitter would be based in Europe, it would be gone from both stores exactly the same day the problem has shown up.

But since Twitter is in USA, rules does not apply.

Because things change

I love that people are downvoting and reporting me for saying these companies hate women, when they're only acting like they hate women.

I would say "don't shoot the messenger," but no, I take that back. Get mad at me. Get furious at me! Then ask yourself "who ya really mad at," cause I guarantee you it isn't me.

‘Fuck you, make me’ without saying the words

it's possible the rules are imminently going to be updated, causing an explanation, i thought.

I thought it was a combination of Musk suing companies that stopped advertising on Twitter based on anti-trust law, and Musk being on the good side of Trump.
