A federal appeals court revived negligence claims against X, formerly Twitter, regarding child exploitation. The court found that after learning about explicit images of two underage boys, X failed to promptly report them to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. A trial judge had dismissed the case previously, but the appeals court asserted that Section 230 did not absolve X from negligence once it gained knowledge of the content. The platform also faces scrutiny for its reporting infrastructure concerning child abuse images.
"The ninth US circuit court of appeals in San Francisco said X, formerly Twitter, must face a claim it was negligent by failing to promptly report a video containing explicit images of two underage boys..."
"According to court papers, Twitter took nine days after learning about the content to take it down and report it to NCMEC, following more than 167,000 views, court papers showed."
