At this point, I expect everything on #Twitter to break.

But @mmasnick@mastodon.social reports on something even more wild: Twitter's autocomplete is recommending potential CSAM and animal torture content.

If you still have a Twitter account, you might want to think about closing it -- at least, for your own safety.

The second incident is perhaps a lot more concerning. Last week, some users discovered that Twitter’s search autocomplete was recommending… um… absolutely horrific stuff, including potential child sexual abuse material and animal torture videos.
