Twitter is not only violating its own policies, but also breaking the law of land in India. Various categories of pornography or explicit content that Twitter prohibits on its platforms such as child sexual exploitation and bondage porn exist after the implementation of its new policies, DisinfoLab said in a report. In the Twitter's porn drainage, a number of accounts share child porn regularly. This not only violates the latest IT Rules in India, but it is also in violation of Twitter's 'zero-tolerance' policy.

The videos are otherwise also in violation of Twitter's 'gory' category of 'permissible porn', and given the explicit nature of such content, could be very easily identified through any worthwhile filtering mechanism. Worse, the child porn on Twitter is accessible to any user, even to young users of Twitter - or to a casual user on the internet, who doesn't have a Twitter account, the report said.
