The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) accused X, formerly known as Twitter, of throttling its posts exposing pornographic content the American Library Association (ALA) and local libraries promote to young children.
In a Substack newsletter, AAF said Elon Musk’s online platform slapped a “sensitive content” warning on “ALL OUR SOCIAL POSTS.”
The AAF also claims their account is shadowbanned “so that you won’t find us in a search on X.”
The conservative opposition research group published a damning thread earlier this year – which doesn’t even show any pornographic imagery or explicit book excerpts – chronicling the ALA’s activism under its new leadership.
But now, the AAF’s account is blocked as “sensitive content” unless users choose to display the sensitive material through their personal settings.
Users not signed into X cannot see the account’s posts.
“Under these rules, you’ll probably find more adult content at the kids’ library than on Twitter,” AAF spokesman Yitz Friedman told The Federalist.
Similarly, parents have been shut down at school board meetings for being too vulgar when they read from books available to their children.
Last year, the ALA elected a self-professed “Marxist lesbian” to head the organization, which is responsible for coordinating programs for children’s libraries across the country.
Just a year later, Daily Signal reported on a list of 13 books the association recommended as the most “challenged” in the current educational environment, blaming prejudice against the LGBT community.
“It’s time to take action on behalf of authors, library staff, and the communities they serve. ALA calls on readers everywhere to show your commitment to the freedom to read by doing something to protect it,” the ALA announced when it released the list.
But all the books on the list feature sexually explicit material, some of which are pornographic.
As The Federalist reported:
The ALA’s radical activism provoked a movement from conservative state lawmakers, who cut ties between their constituent library commissions and the national association. Missouri Republican Secretary of State John Ashcroft led the movement to disassociate from the umbrella organization with a letter in July.
The Montana State Library Commission shortly followed suit. Texas was the latest state to sever ties with the ALA after the Texas State Library and Archives Commission faced pressure from GOP state Rep. Brian Harrison. Lawmakers in at least seven more states have signaled preparations to do the same.
Last month, 13 conservative groups penned a joint statement demanding state and local leaders work to strip the ALA of government support.
“The ALA’s ceaseless promotion of obscene materials targeted at children could run afoul of numerous state and federal laws that protect against the proliferation of harmful materials to minors,” they wrote.
