Magee, who has more than 500,000 followers, has posted images of conspiracy theories and child sexual abuse on X so far, and Maggie said, ``I posted it to get attention.'' .
The sexual abuse post posted by Mr. Maggie on July 25, 2023 has been viewed more than 3 million times and about 8,000 retweets. On the other hand, X freezes Mr. Maggie's account after receiving a series of extreme posts by Mr. Maggie. Some of Magee's followers claimed that it was ``frozen due to the political messages Mr. Maggie has posted so far.''
However, Mr. Mask replied that Mr. Maggie's account was 'due to the image posted by Mr. Maggie'. ``Only the company's child sexual exploitation team has seen this image,'' Mask said, ``I will delete a series of Maggie's posts and revive Maggie's account.'' .
Mr. Mask, who immediately revived Mr. Maggie's account, which has been posting about child sexual abuse, has received a lot of criticism.
'Even edited images or videos that are clearly identifiable as a child are unlawful child sexual abuse material,' said Gavin Boatnoy of the American Center for the Protection of Missing and Exploited Children. says.
So far, Mr. Mask has said, 'Eliminating child exploitation is a top priority.'
Removing child exploitation is priority #1. Please reply in comments if you see anything that Twitter needs to address.

In addition, X has a policy called `` zero tolerance policy '' that `` does not tolerate sexual exploitation of children at all ''. The 'Zero Tolerance Policy' stipulates that 'any violation will result in immediate and permanent account suspension.'
However, it has been reported that X's measures to prevent the spread of child abuse content are not functioning properly, and since Mr. Musk became CEO, the time taken to remove child abuse content has approximately doubled. It has been pointed out that

Overseas media TechDirt pointed out, ``If you restore an account that has posted about child sexual abuse, it is not a zero-tolerance policy that means ``intolerance.'' 'Mr. Maggie's account revival is Mr. Mask's personal tolerance policy,' he said.
X also reinstated rapper Ye 's account on July 29, 2023. Ye, who is known to have changed his name from ``Kanye West'' to ``Ye,'' has declared his love for Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, and said, ``German dictator is a cool guy.'' and denied that Hitler massacred 6 million Jews during the Holocaust.
In early December 2022, Mr. Mask announced that Mr. Ye's account had been permanently frozen in response to repeated radical posts by Mr. Ye.

However, Mr. Ye's account was revived on July 29, 2023, about eight months after the freeze. The Wall Street Journal, a foreign media outlet, said, ``X seems to have reinstated Mr. Ye's account because he is confident that Mr. Ye will not use the platform to share anti-Semitism or other harmful words in the future. I'm guessing.
At the time of writing the article, Mr. Ye has not posted to X after reviving his account.
