        That is, Twitter would rather play host to a cesspool of racists, rapists, and terrorists than to a vibrant community of artists of color.

        But if the police don't investigate, victims have to pay for cyber forensics?? So POS hackers can attack poor people and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        The law will not protect smut peddling sociopaths who publish illegally filmed sex tapes. There's no freedom in this world but power & money

        I think there's a law against the creation of "nonconsensual pornography" but I'm not sure if local LE actually does anything.
