The social media platform X — formerly known as Twitter — “has become the front page for sexual abuse online,” according to NCOSE. As the advocacy group noted, X/Twitter has been named to the 2021, 2022 and 2023 Dirty Dozen Lists. 

According to NCOSE, the “core platform design issue” is that the platform allows pornography, but fails to prevent adult and child sex abuse material by implementing meaningful age or consent verification. 

The advocacy group also highlighted the story of John Doe, a 13-year-old boy who was coerced by a predator into making and sharing child sexual abuse material online. John Doe’s family sued the platform, then known as Twitter, for failing to take down the content after being notified. 

“John Doe’s story does not exist in isolation. Tragically, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and adult image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) are still consistent and rampant problems on X (formerly Twitter),” NCOSE stated.
