Own general research: Illegal activities on social media

Illegal or restricted content

Like other media, content placed on the internet may be illegal, infringing or prohibited content under various state or Commonwealth laws. Certain online content may also be classified as 'prohibited' such as: Child pornography. Instructions in Crime, violence or drug use. - These are the main topics that I will be touching on in my doscumentary, as I personally find it incredible how easily these things can be accessed, especially on Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram, which are the top-used social media sites of my target audience.

Twitter, I believe, is the most problematic. I find it too easy to access content that should be restricted, but users have found loopholes and way to get past the rules and regulations. 

Twitter rules/guidelines/policies:

I have, using the information above, conducted a poll on my social media to see how many Twitter users have been subjected to viewing any of the activities listed above. I will share the results when I have put them altogether.
