Twitter Allowing Photos in Direct Messages Is a Surefire Recipe for Nudes
Twitter now allows users to send pictures to each other in direct messages, and everyone agrees it's going to lead to a whole lot of nudes flying around.
Communication spans across many social networks and devices, on laptops, tablets and mobile phones, from Facebook, to Twitter, to Instagram, to Snapchat. Sometimes you only know someone over Twitter, or Facebook, or Snapchat, and that problem ("problem") is a lot worse for famous people, like politicians or athletes, who often receive salacious messages from people who want to sex their beautiful, flawless famous faces. If history has proven anything, it's that humans will always send naked pictures to people who find us attractive, which is why this new Twitter feature is probably a horrible, troublesome idea.

men on twitter: do not DM anyone pictures of your dick. please.

Always be careful with your dick and/or boob pictures, friends. Instead of sending nudes over Twitter, use direct messages to get someone's Snapchat info and take your naked picture exchanges over there.
