Elon Musk's social media network X is experiencing a significant increase in pornographic content, causing user discomfort. A Bloomberg report links this surge to reduced content moderation under Musk's ownership. X is exploring monetization of adult content despite risks, including potential criminal activities. Concerns about protecting minors from explicit material have been raised, with reports of teenagers as young as 12 being exposed. The situation is exacerbated by the proliferation of porn spambots, posing challenges for user and advertiser retention.
