A tech analyst claims that Twitter is about to purge up to 10 million users that post pornographic material, and porn stars and adult companies are worried it?ll hurt their bottom line.
Say it ain?t so! Don?t censor us Twitter, like all those other wildly profitable social media platforms.
According to SunTrust Robinson Humphrey tech analyst Robert Peck, Twitter is preparing to purge an estimated 10 million porn-posting users. Ditching such a large chunk of users sounds drastic until you do the math: Twitter claims to have 302 million monthly users, so getting rid of the explicit posters will only account for about 3 percent of its total?although that?s just counting the users and not their followers. Twitter is a one-stop shop for all your media needs, whether you want to catch up on news, message a celeb in real time, or browse explicit images posted by adult stars. Purging the porn will surely upset millions of users, and would certainly put a dent in Twitter?s hip freedom of speech reputation.
