The difference here is that the content is explicitly illegal in almost every jurisdiction in the world. And it's not as if Twitter (I'm not calling it x) is a niche platform that regulators may not have yet noticed.

It's a huge company that's doing very illegal things very much out in the open. That might fly in fascist land USA but I don't see why the rest of the world should put up with it.

The 'content' actually may not be illegal in many places. Laws in a number of places do not include non-photographic representations because the harm is in the creation of the imagery by abusing real human children or the incentivisation of abuse by purchasing the material. At any rate, the point is that it's not the platform but the content people object to. Closing twitter down would not stop people who want it from using GenAI to make images. The tech exists now and we will have to figure out how to handle that.

I feel like you didn't read my previous comment. That is not an excuse. The problem is that they are hosting the content quite happily without doing anything about it.
