Showing Original Post only (View all)Twitter Bans On Reddit... [View all]
Since Musk took control of Twitter, he mostly eliminated the Trust and Safety group and stopped paying the vendor that scans for CSAM. As a result, CSAM (child sexual abuse material) has apparently been circulating on Twitter recently (from what I've read elsewhere, the same notorious video that the feds found on Josh Duggar's hard drive).Musk also recently reinstated the account of someone who posted CSAM content.
As a result, we'll be removing any content here that leads to Twitter, or, as he now calls it, X. Whether it's an embed link or a direct link to a tweet. Don't care what outlet is doing it. If you're a reporter or editor, stop embedding links to Twitter in any of your content.
DO NOT: Under any circumstances post any link that leads directly to CSAM. We will ban you immediately and report you to the admins. If it looks like you broke the lawwhich borders on strict liability for this stuffwe will do everything in our power to report you to the feds and send you to jail.

You posted this issue earlier. Is this reddit-wide or just a policy on one of the subreddits?

I loathe Musk and what he's done to Twitter, but there's no need to ban the platform here.
