Women's advocate penny youngman and social media expert Greg -- are here to sort out exactly what happened.
Greg first you how to these -- get on Twitter.
So it may actually got on vine which is they separated -- that was made by Twitter which is sort of like a video version of Twitter so instead of a 104 -- of tax.
It's actually six seconds of video.
And down they woods let people share videos.
Some of which -- or of of adult nature.
And by by human error.
Com 181.
Adult video was featured as a clinical editor's pick in that was stuff in error.
And thus viewed by a lot of people and -- -- exacerbated the problem.
Penny how did you find out about -- lawless.
Well -- Clinton news stories about -- isn't great concern you know -- parents all over this country.
And -- -- women for America about a way represents half a million women.
Here are trying desperately to protect our children.
And out you know we need to companies like Twitter.
And there at vying to be responsible corporate citizens into take that extra step to police -- south.
We're -- desperately -- parents to protect our kids.
But we need their help they look at -- great job with this they're the gold -- and and we don't really like to see down.
Really stepped up incident doing just you know small tweaks here and they -- to pretend they're.
Well Greg is there -- wave that that Twitter could learn from what FaceBook did successfully at least according Penney did successfully.
Yeah I'd I'd say some you know Twitter has done the responsible thing thus far and -- you know both.
Putting in measures in place to avoid such mistakes the future.
As well as putting on.
Aid the response what NC seventeen rating on the they did in collaboration -- but by -- -- -- how does that how to one though become how to one of those videos become the editor's pick.
How that happened.
I I I if I -- Allison there's I don't know the -- help -- -- apparently it was it was human error that instead of the leading it.
They put its as an editor's pick.
What do you think -- Well first -- a -- this stance they've taken for the NC seventeen is only a pop bot bot.
That the kid click on to say yes -- over seventeen I should point out that 58% of twelve year old has -- funds today.
And that about 15%.
At kids between ages -- twelve and sixteen.
Had been involved in fact staying -- sixteen is still nude pictures.
-- -- -- On steroids.
How do you why -- I mean let's just -- his -- to hold you there -- why give a cellphone there to some data may be -- I mean.
I I know -- there -- -- answer I drink worth Verizon has -- responsibility.
I absolutely agree that these companies are making money -- -- so.
-- may also have some responsibility in this.
My point as an I would be worried if I were bind about liability we there is -- Serious problem this country with kids not having enough cardinal oversight.
And not being parents and saying by the way I own that -- and I and in house and the computer island island electricity that powers the computer.
It's -- I can look at major past head I always say parents are the first line of defense it is our responsibility.
To our next check -- -- Relative to be talking about the question suing on on the unit -- and we have appeared in the Internet but I Greg I'll go to you -- that do you think that that we may see a lawsuit results from this.
It's it's really anybody's guess I would say dot -- but but but the -- point I would say that -- definition -- responsibility and so we don't Twitter has taken some steps you know that if definite on -- the error error and taken some steps not and that ultimately.
But ultimately this is also -- responsibility I mean if if your child is you know misrepresenting their aides and -- -- there -- seventeen or eighteen when they're actually thirteen.
I mean that is our hands and.
Apparent effort -- for anything but now -- -- I'd read managers think it's never analysts say they shouldn't -- say they should be doing more what more would you like them the group.
We know I'd like to see it today and basically and you know in the wash our hands of this -- that giving an NC seventeen rating thanks -- Goes on -- and -- looks for -- stains that are are of the grants.
That are cyber bullying that -- pornography and they are trying to keep a -- count and -- I would say.
What they need to rise up to that standard and -- yeah -- FaceBook has not.
Made and find -- companion there's been not what could mean that maybe this might have -- -- -- seven parents are trying hard we got to do more about we need help from you know from the companies that are making money.
Many young man's and they're Greg sang good to see both thanks for coming in appreciate it.
