Multiple Brands Pull Ads From Twitter After Appearing Next to Child Pornography Accounts
On Wednesday, Forbes, Dyson, Mazda, PBS Kids, Walt Disney, NBCUniversal, Cole Haan, and Coca-Cola have all halted their Twitter advertising after their promos allegedly appeared next to messages requesting child pornography. Around 30 advertisements allegedly were shown on the profiles of Twitter accounts with ties to child pornography.
According to the reports, some of the tweets included key terms like ‘rape’ and ‘teens’, and they were shown alongside promotional tweets from corporate marketers. In an instance mentioned by Reuters, a promotional tweet for Cole Haan was shown next to a tweet in which a user stated that they were ‘trading teen or child’.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Thursday expressed grave concerns over reports about the presence of tweets soliciting child pornography on Twitter, as India takes on the micro-blogging platform over similar concerns. Reacting to a report on how major advertising brands have pulled out from Twitter as their promotion posts appeared alongside child porn tweets, Musk said: "Extremely concerning."
Last week, the Delhi Commission of Women(DCW) had issued summons to Twitter India and the Delhi Police after finding multiple handles allegedly posting tweets related to child pornography and rape.The responses given to the commission was found unsatisfactory and India twitter and Delhi police were given until september 30th, tommorow, to provide a proper reply.
