Thank fucking god.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Good riddance.

 

[Musubi]

I mean.. it took them this long to actually make that a rule?

 

[MMarston]

Nothing but good news.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Good.

 

[NickatNite]

Good.

 

[Luap]

Better late than never.

Looking forward to all the closeted pedophiles coming out of the woodwork to argue against this.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Wow so brave

Edit: seriously this was still a thing?

 

[caff!!!]

but they still can't ban nazis and abusive users, somehow

 

[xxracerxx]

They weren't before? What the fuck.

Yup, a lot of japanese art twitter are talking about jumping to another platform.

This is a complex topic, but I can't help ya'll on this one.

All of the YouTube shit going on is probably what is getting their asses up to actually do something. Hardly out of the good of their hearts.

 

[Deleted member 19003]

Good. Wild that it took them so many years to come to this decision. There was some heinous crap being passed around on Twitter.

 

[Falchion]

About time.

 

[Skittles]

digibro legit shook

 

[Lightning Count]

Took them long enough.

How is it that complex?

 

[Sign My Guestbook!]

Wait a second, they have to announce this?

It isn't just... default?

 

[Wrestleman]

In a limited number of situations when no malicious intent has been identified, users may instead be asked to remove the violating Tweet and be temporarily locked out of their account before they can Tweet again.

I... exactly what constitutes "no malicious intent" here? Why are there instances where this results in a slap on the wrist?

Good.

I thought that stuff was banned already.

 

[Vilix]

My thoughts exactly.

 

[FTF]

Why wasn't it banned from the beginning??

Disturbing.

They should have done this a long time ago.

Don't sexualize children.

How is this a complex topic?

 

[sirap]

I'm surprised Twitter even allowed this in the first place. Isn't Pixiv the go to place for this?

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Good.

 

[TheYanger]

The only thing complex is the mental gymnastics that people over there go through to defend kiddy porn

 

[Mirage]

This many years and twitter just starts doing this?

There looooooads of it.

 

[Rivenblade]

Can people clarify what loli and shota are? Can't loli just be chibi versions of characters? For example, is this loli or is there a difference between chibi and loli?

I don't care about this stuff, but I could see some segments of the animenet being hurt by this, especially creators.

This is one of the most frustrating aspects of pawoo (the pixiv instance of mastodon/gnu social), that there's no enforcement of that stuff.
