As should completely have been entirely expected (and man, was that fun to type), the convicted pedophile set up another Twitter account so that when the one he made in March invariably gets suspended for… him being a convicted pedophile on a site that minors aged thirteen to seventeen can use, he continues to have access to Twitter, and by “access to Twitter” I mean access to minors. This gets better by the minute, and by the minute I mean what I said at the start of this paragraph: I should have expected this since the beginning.

This is like Whack-a-Mole, except it is in almost an infuriating way. Lay people should not have to do this. Laws should already have been passed to bar certain offenders to access from sites, and situations, like these (beyond what convicted pedophiles are already not permitted to take part in as conditions to their release from prison after serving their sentence, something that I became familiar with having friends who work in law enforcement and asking them the right questions). But I do what I do to help keep sites safe for minors — teenagers — to use, because I’d want someone to be willing to do that for me if I were that age.

The convicted pedophile that I’ve been mentioning was only banned from Tweeting, Retweeting (RTing?) and Liking posts for twelve hours in spite of the fact that this was his second offense on that account and he’s ban evading two suspensions. Make it make sense. I’ve been seeing about alerting his local ASPCA or animal control unit because he’s stated on more than one occasion that he has a Rottweiler he’s taught to bite women and will continue to work that up until, or unless, he is once again suspended from Twitter. People are continuing to mass report him and reach out to Elon Musk’s account, Twitter Safety, and Twitter Support in the hopes that they can actually get through to a human being who reads these things, do the right thing — what their TOS mandates they do — and suspend this person so that Twitter remains safe for minors to use. I’ve also reached out to people who knew of him on one of the accounts that he had, and had gotten suspended, because the more seems to be the merrier when it comes to containing this… I’m not even sure if I should call him dude. Monster? And keep him from terrorizing or triggering other people, which he really likes to do, until he’s suspended once more. The fact that Twitter has continued not to act is absurd.

It’s often court-ordered as a condition of release from prison that pedophiles not be allowed to participate in certain activities, and some of the more commonly ordered terms state that pedophiles are not to use social media, or use social media on sites that minors can access. I’ve been trying to have a LEO get to the bottom of this by contacting the pedophile’s county criminal justice unit, but the gears are grinding extremely slow there. (Grinding, winding… whatever.) A LEO, or law enforcement official, stands the greatest chance of being taken the most seriously with this inquiry on top of what will more than likely be a wellness check on this person’s dog because of his statements about who he’s taught it to bite. Sometimes I hate doing this…

People have been mass reporting the convicted pedophile on Twitter that I wrote about in here.

We have proof of his conviction, and we have proof that he tried to appeal that conviction and failed.

So far, Twitter is sitting on their hands refusing to do anything about him, but they did silence the mandatory reporter (a friend of mine, who is a special education teacher) who saw the conversation unfolding on Twitter and entered it with some concern about the things that he had been saying about one of my children. He insinuated that the conversation was reportable on the pedophile’s end, but said something snarky at the end of his part of the conversation that Twitter chose to silence him for twelve hours for. So Twitter is quicker to act on a moment of snark from a mandatory reporter expressing concern about a convicted pedophile’s inappropriate behavior as it regards a child than they are to act on the convicted pedophile themselves, even though minors (ages 13-17) use their site and this convicted pedophile has been suspended from Twitter twice before, so he is ban evading and knows that he is. I had been considering getting Twitter Blue to help with my content creation and streaming, but I will not do so as long as a convicted pedophile is allowed to run amok on the site, and the good people who want to do something about that are prevented from engaging with the site because they engaged with him and he’s able to mess with the reporting system to get that as the desired result. No. Just no. I will save my money on that venture.
