WASHINGTON (TheStreet) -- Twitter (TWTR_) , the favorite social media powerhouse, has become a tool of escorts and prostitutes, a months-long investigation by TheStreet reveals. More than a thousand individual Twitter profiles advertising everything from private escorts to dominatrix services were identified, many of which appear to violate the San Francisco-based company's terms of service. Twitter's terms dictate that the message system -- limited to 140 characters per message or tweet -- not be employed for "any unlawful purposes or in furtherance of illegal activities." Further, the company's rules prohibit pornographic images from appearing in "header photos or user background." How these rules would be enforced was not spelled out. <snip>
