Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., is calling on the Justice Department to investigate Twitter for allegedly failing to address child sexual exploitation material.
"Sadly, Twitter has provided little confidence that it is adequately policing its platform to prevent the online sexual exploitation of children," he reportedly wrote. "This puts children at serious risk."
The letter cited previous reports of dozens of Twitter accounts that were alleged to have used hashtags to promote the sale of "child sexual abuse material" or CSAM.
