It’s only the latest incident of banned imagery making its way onto the site since Musk bought it
The Catholic Church has actively ran the longest largest worldwide Pedophile ring in human history. For the past 1800 years the Catholic Church recruited, supported, obfuscated, defended, and excused pedophilia, which continues to this day. The fact the Catholic Church still allowed to operate, in any way shape or form, with youth of any kind, in any country, anywhere, means we’ve all purposefully lost the thread. Beside the Catholic Church being criminal, it’s only shown how very little adults care about the systematic raping of children. Like, at all.
Children are great tools for oppression. All you have to do is say “but what about the children” and any argument against you is going to look villainous.
It’s why every time there’s a social rights movement, the minority gets labelled as violent, rapist, paedophiles. See current state of the fight of trans rights.
the past 1800 years
In the early 2nd century, the Roman satirist Lucian writes a story in which a guy facing imprisonment for molesting a young boy instead finds safe haven among the Christian church. Just a small detail in a larger story, but certainly fitting with the evidence of the institution since.
And Paul, the guy who never met Jesus but co-opted his movement, had a habit of referring to himself as the Father of others, and calling others his children, and was attended by a much younger man named Timothy, and normalized kissing on the mouth as a greeting in four separate letters (behavior you’ll often see among archival footage of known pedophiles in the modern age such as Jimmy Savile).
So it may have gone all the way back to the unmarried guy attended by a young boy having people call him Daddy and kissing them on the mouth who was routinely getting thrown out of towns by angry mobs, which is even further back than 1800 years…

Evidence that this plagued the Catholic Church from the start is a your burden to produce with this claim.
The evidence doesn’t quite go back 1800 years, but there is 1000 year old evidence against them. It isn’t that hard to imagine that it was probably going on before then, too.
“Sexual abuse in the Catholic Church has been reported as far back as the 11th century, when Peter Damian wrote the treatise Liber Gomorrhianus against such abuses…”
While Liber Gomorrhianus does mention clerical sexual abuse of children, it is for the most part concerned with homosexual acts among monks and priests, and also with (male) clergy engaging in unchastity with nuns or laywomen.
None of these are presented as being common or accepted; rather they are all considered as disqualifying a man from the clergy for at least a period of years.
That said —
A cleric or monk who persecutes adolescents or children, or who is caught in a kiss or other occasion of indecency, should be publicly beaten and lose his tonsure, and having been disgracefully shaved, his face is to be smeared with spittle, and he is to be bound in iron chains, worn down with six months of imprisonment, and three days every week to fast on barley bread until sundown. After this, spending his time separated in his room for another six months in the custody of a spiritual senior, he should be intent upon the work of his hands and on prayer, subject to vigils and prayers, and he should always walk under the guard of two spiritual brothers, never again soliciting sexual intercourse from youth by perverse speech or counsel.
worth noting that afaik elon deserves the blame here: he actively pushed for the account to be reinstated
Exactly. This is directly due to Elon’s involvement and I wish the media would make that clear. They usually show his tweet in the article, so I have no idea why they’re being coy.
But you know he recognizes what a problem it is because he called a detractor a pedo.
Pedo just means like, cool guy or something. Elon just thought this account was posting cool stuff /s
And it totally wasn’t projection
Like at all
And, insanely, got away with it.
McGee also shared the same child rape and torture post on Instagram. The Instagram post, which had roughly 600 likes, was deleted Thursday. A spokeswoman for Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, said the image violated its policies against child sexual exploitation
Wtf Meta? Why wasn’t his account closed there either?
600 likes!!! Every one of those assholes should have their account suspended as well
And be put on a list too. Who the fuck likes this shit
It was blurred/censored as mentioned in the article. It talks about what some organizations consider CSAM, but without seeing their guidelines or how it violated them it’s hard to say.
if people are sharing that shit openly on twitter how are they not getting arrested for it? them having a twitter or not shouldnt even be a question if youre posting that shit.

Because for some reason this country absolutely loves this shit.
We like in backwards times.
How about we stop giving Twitter all this attention. It’s exactly why they’re pulling this crap.
I think you’re far too willing to believe that every consequence of his actions is somehow intended and desired, like he’s playing 4D chess to acquire magic Attention Coins that are somehow going to translate into wealth and power later. The truth is that Elon is an impulsive idiot easily swayed by other idiots on the right, and this negative attention is only going to make it harder for him to ever make back the money he invested in Twitter, which in turn will tank Tesla.
On the contrary, this is the type of attention they need. The more twitter and conservatives become associated with child rape, the more toxic both become and the better for us all in the long run.
If they are trying to use this to be profitable and grab sponsors, I don’t see how that works. This is newsworthy, even though I agree that Twitter talk is getting old.
