Twitter Bans Brittany Venti and the Quartering Over Posting YouTube Screenshot of Eliza Bleu
Twitter suspended YouTubers Brittany Venti (The Quartering) on Friday after they posted screenshots of a YouTube video featuring hip-hop music. The suspensions were the result of a massive flagging campaign launched by Eliza Bleu’s fans, who ran a podcast that condemned human trafficking.
Venti posted questioning Bleu’s authenticity in speaking out against human trafficking and the sexualization of women because the video features Bleu posing salaciously. Venti posted the screenshot of Bleu’s video. “If she’s addressed it before let me know but I’m just curious because I came across videos like this maybe she was trafficked via being coerced? Idk”

Venti also tweeted “I saw this tweet just now but I think it starts to blur the line about what is trafficking vs what was voluntary. I think it’s fair to ask questions when things like this distract from the anti-trafficking messaging when it’s not clarified.”

Twitter blocked Venti from her account after she tweeted the tweet. It claimed Venti had violated Twitter rules. “violating our rules against posting or sharing privately produced/distributed intimate media of someone without their express consent.”
Amanda Jean reported at least one tweet. She said: “Also, I’m reporting this for nonconsensual image. You didn’t have to post that screen shot, you salty hoe.”

Eliza Bleu has done good work in the past to expose human trafficking, child grooming, and other forms of child abuse. which was highlighted by the Daily Wire in 2022, bringing Bleu’s podcast to new public prominence.
What happened between her and Venti to cause beef between the two isn’t clear, but in this instance, it appears that Bleu is in the wrong in advocating for deplatforming based on public appearances.

The video in question remains on YouTube, easily searchable by anyone who might want to take a screenshot of Bleu’s stripping for the camera. Despite Twitter’s proclamation, this does not qualify as sharing private intimate media or any kind of revenge porn. Venti appeared to be asking a genuine question.
It didn’t stop Bleu from playing the victim over the situation. Venti was threatened by Bleu, and she tweeted, “I’m going to address this one time and one time only. A non-consensual photo was posted of me yesterday on Twitter. The photos have been removed. The source of the photo has also been contacted, and I’m preparing to escalate to the full extent of the law.”

Bleu continued, “Twitter did an outstanding job, and they will be excluded from legal action. There won’t be anyone else involved spared. I am a fighter and don’t take any chances. I’m a survivor advocate, and that doesn’t stop with advocating for myself as a survivor.
“I’d encourage my enemies to study the law. I have been for many years. It might stop you from making rookie mistakes in the future,” She tweeted.

Several prominent YouTubers took exception to Bleu’s grandstanding, including The Quartering, who reposted Venti’s tweet and was suspended as well with his tweet deleted.
He posted before his suspension. “I have never had a bad interaction with @elizableu & the same for @BrittanyVenti. I have a major issue with Brittany getting her account locked for posting a PUBLIC image. Her account was locked for sharing ‘private’ images but this is not the case. Please fix this @elonmusk.”

Twitter provided TheQuartering with a similar explanation to Venti’s suspension.

Anna “ThatStarWarsGirl” also chimed in Bleu’s comments, stating, “Oh that is such bulls**t. The photos were from a PUBLIC music video you consented too that’s been up on YT for over 6 years with ZERO age restrictions. You didn’t like that so you&your goons abused @TwitterSupport system to get @BrittanyVenti banned. It’s f***ed up. Stop lying.”

Venti’s suspension was followed by support from many other YouTubers. Although Twitter has systems in place to stop the serious issue with revenge porn, this seems like their algorithm was misinterpreted.
It’s concerning to see that the platform might deplatform people over screenshots from public places like YouTube.
