Twitter is being sued over allegations it allowed sexually-explicit videos to be posted on its website despite the pleas of the underage victim to remove them.
The federal lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of California, which includes Twitter s worldwide headquarters in San Francisco.
Peter Gentala, senior legal counsel for the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, says the alleged victim referred to as “John Doe” is a “courageous young man” who saw his own images get posted on Twitter and distributed all over the social media site.
