In July, US authorities stated a defendant in Arizona had “purported to be a 12-year-old boy, exchanged child sexual abuse material with other Twitter users via direct messages, and solicited child sexual abuse material”.
In another instance in Oregon, a defendant reportedly “discussed kidnapping children together and sexually abusing them for both of their sexual gratification” in X conversations with another user.
In a separate case, filed in North Carolina, FBI authorities located a “group chat … which consisted of users who asked the individual to produce child pornography for them” after X submitted a cyber tip report.
