I've just come across this and I feel sick. How is it allowed.

So much stuff is banned from Twitter but this is fine. I have no words

I saw this on twitter earlier, these are so many of these accounts, it's all in public view,
There is actually a petition on change.org to remove and ban MAPS accounts on Twitter, it's only just started and only got 629 signatures. Please all look up and share this petition.
This can never be acceptable.

For those of you saying that Twitter does not allow this, it is specifically permitted under their terms of service

What is not a violation of this policy?
Discussions related to child sexual exploitation as a phenomenon or attraction towards minors are permitted, provided they don’t promote or glorify child sexual exploitation in any way. Artistic depictions of nude minors in a non-sexualized context or setting may be permitted in a limited number of scenarios e.g., works by internationally renowned artists that feature minors.

An AGE OF 8 as the age of consent???????????????

This is sick. Totally a rapist's charter

@KittyFantastico

To join LGBT+..!? After all the years the LGBT+ community has spent fighting against the prejudice that LGBT = paedophile.

Yes.

I am specchless but surely by typing this online they have brought themselves to the attention of the police?

queenofknives · 30/07/2020 19:54

If paedophiles can "discuss attraction towards minors" on twitter, then they will be using twitter to organise among themselves. It's frightening. Meanwhile, women who try to speak against them are subjected to horrendous abuse. This is one of the reasons I left twitter.

I know most people wouldn't anyway, but please don't share pics of your kids on twitter, or any other public social media. These "MAPs" are the people who are looking.

If a man can keep his penis & testicles and identify as a woman and access women only spaces, sports, prisons, professional groups; with a large cohort of feminists cheering him on, what is the difference between that and a man keeping his post puberty body etc but trans identifying as say an 8 year old? “48 year olds are 8!”

I have to say, I really have never seen an explanation as to how it is different. Same for a white person 'identifying as black'.

Eeeeeeeok · 30/07/2020 20:08

I don't know what map is. I thought it was about morning after pill! Off to Google.....

@CuriousaboutSamphire

Oh come on!!!! That has to be a shite parody!!

Surely nobody advertises their illegal sexual proclivities!!

Fucking Twitter bollocks!!!

You’d think not, but there’s screeds ofthe evil fuckers. “Oh we’d never act on our impulses, so stop oppressing us. Wah wah wah.
OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 30/07/2020 20:13

If you are frustrated by twitter, tag met police in, they invite you to dm concerns. Whether they act on it who knows.

Siameasy · 30/07/2020 20:20

Hideous. They obviously have no qualms about discussing this, not an ounce of shame. To the likes of these people it is completely normal.

That is good to know. It is enormously frustrating that they are allowed to discuss this on Twitter.

This has happened before with PIE (Paedophile Information Exchange) and they were supported by Liberty and some prominent members of the Labour Party. People wonder how Jimmy Saville got away with it but a lot of people thought it was ok and that pedophiles were a persecuted minority.

The internet has opened up the possibilities for grooming significantly.

You would think so but despite the police turning up on people's doorsteps for stating biology on Twitter - they don't seem to be stamping down on the paedophile community at all. (I refuse to legitimise it by calling it MAP - it's another word salad attempt to confuse people and hide what they really are).
The law needs to catch up with Twitter as a company too. Their website has users legitimising paedophilia, making death and rape threats against women and they have already been pulled up by the House of Commons Select Committee for their failures to moderate. It's time they were treated like a publisher. Then they might suddenly develop a decent reporting system rather than one that looks like it was crafted by a violent incel paedophile.

nauticant · 30/07/2020 20:46

For anyone thinking this must be a wind-up, it's not, and some people are reacting in ways which enable it.

AfterEllen raised this issue. Rhea Butcher, a non-binary comedian, took offence that the issue has been raised and blocked After Ellen.

No matter how horrified we are by this, there are always useful idiots.

RedDogsBeg · 30/07/2020 20:50

Never mind just being suspended from Twitter they should be permanently banned from all social media (they managed to do so to Wiley) and Twitter et al should report them to the relevant Police Force.

AskingforaBaskin · 30/07/2020 20:51

@SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito

It's the new replacement for paedophile. Minor Attracted Person.

Rebranding.

WHAT THE FUCK?!
Ethelfleda · 30/07/2020 20:53

Yep minor attracted person, they've rebranded to join LGBT+

I’m completely shocked by this!!!!!!

Clicked on because I thought map was morning after pill. What a horrendous tweet.

TheLastDynasty · 30/07/2020 21:02

This is nothing to do with the LGBT+ community. Pride has never welcomed self-proclaimed MAPs and name them for what they are - pedophiles. Pedophiles have tried to gain legitimacy by claiming equivalence with LGBT+ groups for decades. It’s nothing new and it’s not a reflection on the LGBT+ community.

Also - this stuff isn’t allowed on twitter. It’s always deleted. People do get screenshots before deletion, and these are often shared.

MannymanMunroe · 30/07/2020 21:02

Check out Aimee Challenor, or rather, Aimee Knight, married to Nathaniel Knight, notorious for his Twitter fantasies about young children. Aimee has enjoyed positions of power within the Green Party, LibDems, NSPCC, Stonewall and (by their own account) Girlguiding UK. And they employed their father as an election agent (whilst their father was awaiting trial for the torture and rape of a 10 year old). Twitter has all the best people: here's an article on Aimee from a man banned from Twitter - Graham Linehan - banned for talking about grooming of minors....anyone using the "g" word is banned, and yet Nathaniel was not:
