Elon Musk has restored an account that shared an explicit image of a child being abused despite the site's policies against such content.

According to the site’s policies, X has a “zero tolerance” on the sharing of such content, and its CEO said that accounts that do so are “removed.”The Visegrad24 account on X was automatically suspended after, according to X owner Elon Musk, it posted an image containing explicit child sexual abuse material. The account was reinstated under a day later after Musk said he was “looking into it.”

Posts are usually reposts of first-hand videos taken by persons on the scene combined with text, and often they contain explicit violent imagery. The account was suspended automatically by X after it posted an image “of that poor kid in Afghanistan being sodomized with a stick,” Musk posted after several users began asking why the account had been brought down.

Importantly it adds, “Regardless of the intent, anyone viewing, sharing, linking, or engaging with any kind of child sexual exploitation material contributes to the re-victimization of the depicted children and puts children at an extreme risk of being harmed.” Visegrad24 was not removed, and while the image that got it suspended has been deleted, the account is still up and sharing information as of this morning. X seemingly does not differentiate between “removed” and “suspended” and Yaccarino may have simply adjusted her language to appease the US Senate.. In the end, it isn’t X’s policies that matter when Musk makes and changes the rules on a whim as he sees fit.
