Prohibited on Twitter uploading images or videos of anyone

Prohibited on Twitter uploading images or videos of anyone. Twitter has announced a prohibition on users publishing photos or videos of other individuals without their permission.

According to news website Burns Insider, Twitter announced the new code in a blog post on Tuesday.

The company says users must first submit a personal report or a report from their "authorized representative" to ensure that the photo or video has been shared without permission. Twitter will remove this content if the person in the tweet reports it not citing their consent.

Which content is exempt from this rule?

This new law does, however, have some exceptions. Photos and videos of public figures posted without their permission may remain on the Site only if they are shared in the public interest or intended to increase public discourse, provided that No one should be 'harassed, intimidated or silenced using the weapon of fear.

Twitter has also said that it will try to take into account the context in each such case. If, for example, an image is publicly available or is being covered by traditional media outlets, Twitter will consider it.

It is not clear how Twitter will implement the new policy or what resources will be used to enforce it.

The move is an addition to Twitter's existing 'doxing' policies, which prevent users from sharing the person's home address, identity documents, contact information, and other personal details without the person's consent.

It was a series of Twitter rules that Twitter partially cited when it told the story of a dubious American newspaper, the New York Post, in late 2020 to reveal the relationship between then-presidential candidate Joe Biden's son and Ukraine. The URL was banned.

The New York Post article contained public information that violated Twitter's rules when the news outlet posted the story on its Twitter account.

However, a Twitter official later stated that the story had gone viral to the point where the information was now considered public.

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey later said that banning the URL was "wrong".
