Meanwhile on Twitter, the one thing I think everyone agrees should get you banned…. No longer does. Feel free to post CSAM, everyone 🤦‍♂️. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1684248597603155976

They ban bitcoin developers, but not CSAM.
you mean on X
The world is a dystopia. Glad their are bright spots like Bitcoiners out there.
The claim is he posted a screenshot of a video, and I've heard claims that the screenshot was blurred. Without seeing the image, we don't know what exactly happened.
If the above is true, saying that is "posting CSAM" gives readers a dishonest impression of what he did. I've personally seen mainstream news agencies distribute screenshots (usually blurred) of CSAM videos before to provide viewers context.
Where is that claim? The above tweet from Elon also said “I’m told that this account was suspended for posting child exploitation pictures associated with the criminal conviction of an Australian man in the Philippines.” That doesn’t mention blurring or any other filtering. Absent some other evidence I’m not sure why the Twitter CSAM team would ban an account for sufficiently-blurred media.
I saw that claim from people on Twitter who said they had seen the actual photos while they were still up.
This is one of them problems with this stuff: the public can't legally see the evidence of what actually happened. Not even most employees or the owner of the company.
You know, if this were actually true, given how much Dom is hated by the establishment – and the fact that in the US, any distribution of CSAM materials is extremely illegal – he'd probably already have federal charges against him.
But so far that hasn't happened. Good chance there's something else going on, eg he posted blurred images, didn't actually post an explicit part of the video, etc.
