Do you think the same for regular athletes too? He's probably already made a few millions off of salaries and prize winnings alone and he was on FaZe, so he already has a decent enough job set up for him as a content creator (Having FaZe in your name is probably enough to get you a few hundred viewers on twitch).

I don't really follow COD esports so I did a quick search. This guy has been playing pro since 2013, has more than 100K followers on Twitch and is still playing COD with a mouse and keyboard (The injury only affects his ability to play with a controller). I think it's safe to say that the gamble he took most likely paid off and judging by his twitter, his plan B (streaming) seems to be working too. That comment was most likely him genuinely being disappointed that he can't compete (COD esports is controller only), because like most competitive players, he is a very competitive person.

I'd say fair enough, but twitter has recently shown that they are perfectly capable of moderating their website. They can't see themselves as a moral authority (like they currently do) and take 0 action against this kind of stuff. And it's not like this was a single tweet that got no attention so it was hard for them to even know it existed:
Not to mentioned that the individual in that video apparently talked to a twitter employee about this and even provided them with proof that they were underage. Like really, it's as if twitter was actively trying to keep the video up.

Guys come on. Twitter is too busy becoming a moral authority in the political world, they don't have time to stop child porn. Priorities people!

Facebook is worse IMO, a few years ago the BBC contacted them to know why reported child porn wasn't taken down, Facebook asked for proof that the content was still on their platform, when the BBC complied, Facebook turned around and reported the BBC for child porn distribution ... so yeah ...

EDIT ; not defending Twitter BTW, just saying, they're both horrible shitty corporation that don't give a shit about doing the correct moral thing, that in this case happens to also be illegal.

That sounds like an excuse Twitter and Facebook came up with. There are ways to moderate it but it requires a lot of money, resources, and it would cut into profits. Youtube had and probably still has it's underground child pedo ring videos that people complained about for years and years but Youtube didn't do anything until recently. 

Are you actually serious? it's child porn.

Facebook is a stupid conspiracy theory breeding ground and Twitter is just a retarded virtue signaling echo chamber. At least Facebook is pretty open about not really caring about what is on their platform, unlike Twitter who moderate their website but only when it's convenient.

i'd say wait for better prices, maybe get a 3070 for that money

Then its a nothing burger and as such shouldnt be considered as news, let alone tech news.

I think you wildly underestimate what it takes to become a professional athlete, most have sports science education and coaching is a very easy and natural progression. If you get really good then you'll likely also receive media training which means you can progress into presenting and/or commentating.
 
Their chosen sport can be both plan A and B, at most it takes a few years of additional training.

He could probably be a streamer or esports commentator

Allowing the distribution of this kind of material on your platform, be it knowingly or not, is a serious crime (I believe its actually a Felony in the USA).
 
I'm sorry but this goes beyond what policies and procedures Twitter have in place, by allowing that video to remain live on Twitter anybody who was told about it broke the law and Twitter as a platform might end up on the line for distribution.
 
If Twitter don't have policies in place to cover this already then they're going to get bent over by the judge and ass fucked with a 12 foot barge poll. If Twitter does have policies in place then it means they ignored them and again they're going to get bent over by the judge and ass fucked with a 12 foot barge poll.
 
I genuinely don't think you're grasping the severity of these allegations, one of the largest and highest profile social media platforms allowed a video of a 13 year old girl being raped (sex with a minor is always considered as rape since a minor cannot legally give consent) to remain live on their platform despite being told about it by both the victim and the police and then tried to hide behind their policies to defend themselves.

Sorry but no, IDGAF what platform it is, if someone contacts them in any way and tells them they are hosting videos of sexual activities involving a child the video in question should be pulled immediately and without question.
 
If its a false claim then it can be restored after an investigation has happened.
 
I worked at a school for 12 years, not only was I subject to a DEEP police records check (they pulled up stuff I did when I was 13 years old) before I could even take the job but I had to attend mandatory training once every year on how to deal with "intimate contact" and "inappropriate accidental viewing", there was a metric butt load of paperwork if you even so much as catch a glimpse of a child's intimate area (the only exception is toileting issues but even then it is recommended that female staff members deal with it with a second member stood outside as a witness and the entire incident is recorded in the child's file), failure to report it to your manager is grounds for instant dismissal.
 
I actually have a pretty funny story that I could tell but I won't since its wildly inappropriate but suffice it to say, I have personally had to phone the UKs social services and report an incident because it involved multiple children, after consulting my manager and the schools deputy head we were left with no other option.
 
You really don't fuck around with this kind of stuff, it can get you in VERY DEEP SHIT.

Something I don't understand is how does Twitter make money (directly) from people watching a video on its platform? If it was Youtube then I would understand the ads playing before a video but Twitter doesn't do that (does it?)?
 
I haven't fully read it and all the details but one of the articles links to a copy of the court filings. https://www.scribd.com/document/491614044/Doe-v-Twitter
 
From what I very quickly skimmed it appears that it was reported to Twitter multiple times, including with police reports concerning the child abuse material and also verifying his identity through drivers licence to confirm he was indeed the person in the video. Twitter took a week to respond to the report saying that there was no violation of their rules and didn't remove the content. The video remained on the platform for 10 days from the first time the plaintiff reported the content to Twitter (reported 20th Jan, removed 30th Jan 2020). The account that was posting the abuse material had been reported to Twitter before for posting child abuse material and Twitter didn't act. It was only after authorities intervened and gave notice to Twitter to remove it that Twitter did, but the person who was posting the content created a new account using the same name and continued posting child abuse material. Before the video was removed it had 167,000 views and over 2200 retweets (seriously, what the fuck?).
