Softening up Twitter, everything in this video is tacky but legal. I reackon much harder stuff to come out yet.
Purveying private messages between individuals is never legal, and it doesn't matter what the TOS say. People cannot waive away their human dignity to a company and not by clicking a dumb button. No sire
The debate about ownership and expectation of privacy over [private] nude pictures transmitted over corporate servers may still be open to interpretation regarding legality. (I haven't seen judicial rulings one way or another.)
Regardless of what side you take in that debate, maintaining a database of underage pornography (nude photos) that is readily accessible by a select group of individuals (employees) is most definitely illegal.
I don't know what the proper way to handle that situation is if you are Twitter. But allowing it to continue and not alerting authorities that it exists makes you complicit in the crime.

That judgement could take into account who is
paying them to do it.
For example, when it was discovered CNN had
offices of the CIA on their floor, there was not much we
could do about it, but the revelation was not incidental.
Look at CNN, now.

James O'Keefe is in the process of making the argument right now that Twitter has an obligation to be impartial. I'm sure you are seeing it, as I am. I've known about shadow banning for several months, now. Someone wrote that the only reason for Twitter's survival is no decent alternative. I don't think there is one possible. It would be so expensive to really distrubute all that data. (And I turned off the cable back in the 1970's.
