Is Twitter Going To Have To Ban Porn?
You hear that? It’s the sound of porn stars and porn lovers screaming and crying because they might not be able tweet out or ogle dick pics anymore.
Yes, Twitter has a porn problem. The company is having some major trouble right now in terms of growth and profit, and as Business Insider reports, one continual thorn in their side is the issue of pornographic content and how it doesn’t sit well with advertisers.
Now, Twitter has software that’s supposed to prevent serving ads on pages with adult content, but this hasn’t always worked. On top of that, let’s just look at the numbers here: It’s estimated that at least 10 million Twitter accounts are devoted totally to tweeting pornography, and that 1 out of every 1000 tweets is pornographic.
Also: “Ads on Twitter are targeted based on a user’s interests, location, accounts followed, and so on — not the specific content they are viewing at any one time. That means there is always the chance a paid-for ad can appear next to porn, which can be turned into the kind of headlines that worry advertisers.”
Given that Twitter needs every advertising penny they can find right now, this kind of spells doom for all the porn sharing that’s been rampant since Twitter’s beginnings.

May 12, 05:38I never was big on Twitter but one thing I loved about it was the ability to see uncensored pictures that were unavailable on other social media outlets. This is bad news.
