, identified by the pseudonym Zora, is urging Elon Musk to stop the circulation of links to images of her abuse on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter). In an interview with the BBC, she shared her outrage, stating, "Hearing that my abuse—and the abuse of so many others—is still being circulated and commodified here is infuriating."Zora, who lives in the United States, was first abused over 20 years ago by a family member. The images of her abuse have since become part of a collection infamous among those who trade such content. She emphasizes that the ongoing trade of these images is a direct extension of the original crime. "Every time someone sells or shares

The investigation, which led them to a trader in Jakarta, Indonesia, was part of a broader look into the global market, which Childlight, the Global Child Safety Institute, estimates to be worth billions of dollars.X has stated it has a "zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material" and that tackling those who exploit children remains a "top priority." However, Zora remains determined to fight against the continued commodification of abuse. "My body is not a commodity," she stated firmly. "Those who distribute this material are not passive bystanders, they are complicit perpetrators."
