Some major companies have suspended ads from parts of Twitter because they were next to tweets soliciting child porn.
Ads for at least 30 brands, ranging from Walt Disney Co , Comcast Corp’s NBCUniversal and Coca-Cola Co. to a children’s hospital, have appeared on the profile pages of Twitter accounts that peddle links to the exploitative material, according to a Reuters review of accounts identified in new research about child sex abuse online from cybersecurity group Ghost Data.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Ottawa SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
She added that Twitter is working closely with its advertising clients and partners to investigate and take steps to prevent the situation from happening again. Reuters then shared the full list of more than 500 accounts after it was furnished by Ghost Data, which Twitter reviewed and permanently suspended for violating its rules, said Twitter’s Carswell.
A Disney spokesperson called the content “reprehensible” and said they are “doubling-down on our efforts to ensure that the digital platforms on which we advertise, and the media buyers we use, strengthen their efforts to prevent such errors from recurring.” A Discord spokesperson said the company had banned one server and one user for violating its rules against sharing links or content that sexualize children.
