Too little too late. I left Twitter a few days ago after I saw some users complaining about animal torture videos showing up in their feeds and search suggestions, and this was on the heels of the footage of the shooting in Texas making the rounds.
It’s a completely unsurprising thing to see when you actively court channers after kneecapping content moderation.
Like CASM, there are groups of sociopaths who share these videos in private and occasionally in public. Everything from Facebook groups to small YouTube channels to private forums. The people who hunt them down, gather evidence and send it to the cops are true heroes in my view, alongside paid Facebook content moderators.
That’s cool, all manner of illegal shock content has always shown up on the chans as well, since day one. “Channer” as a term applies equally to all people in that ecosystem, even those that are reviled by the rest. :)
