Twitter as a .XXX porn site
p2pnet news view P2P:- Porn has arrived on Twitter.
Or has it been there for a while and I just hadn’t noticed?
“Hi, Jon Newton (p2pnet),” says a Twitter email announcement, “BelenHenderson (HendersonXXX) is now following your updates on Twitter. Check out BelenHenderson’s profile here:
http://twitter.com/HendersonXXX
“You may follow BelenHenderson as well by clicking on the “follow” button. Best, Twitter …”
Gee, Twitter, thanks.
A significant number of Twitter emails I get are promos of some kind or another and a few of them have been a bit on the dodgy side.
But this is the first of this kind for me.
Is it the start of something new?
And, importantly, other than me, how many of Belen’s 22 alleged followers and the 923 people she’s following (including Natalie, a “Budding Professional, Dreamer, Mom, Poet,” Eric (I think), a, “capitalist, blogger, social media junkie, web strategist. Oh… and I’m highly addicted to politics,” and, “CSMonitor.com 0 Monitor Books: The Looking House http://tr.im/rRD0 …”) know they’re being used to support Twitter porn?
Just asking.

That ones nothing, look at trending topics and your guranteed to see at least one porn Twitter profile, with an obvious image… Yet Twitter does nothing to remove or ban the accounts/account holders.

4chan attacked Twitter recently, I think they’re still cleaning it up. There’s a LOT of porn and spam on Twitter. I keep blocking them following me but they don’t seem to clear. I have about 5 or more invisibles I can do nothing about. : /

Everyone is holier than thou about pornographie but it is probably the most popular thing and that means twitter is a natural.

I have not noticed Prince Charles or his mother complaining on the Royals tweets.
