Twitter is planning to clamp down a bit more on adult. Specifically they’ll be doing “immediate and permanent suspension of accounts identified as the original source of nude imagery taken and shared without the subject’s permission.” And “the definition of non-consensual nudity has been expanded to include hidden-camera content and ‘upskirt’ imagery that might have been captured without the victim being aware”.

So let’s say you run a social site (e.g. a hookup site) and a member gives you permission to make an image public. You have to think twice before posting that image to Twitter in case the member doesn’t really have rights to that image. Or at least keep the image on a separate Twitter account that you don’t mind being closed down.

Or if you produce “reality porn” and shoot in public spaces and your video gets reported, Twitter might think it was “hidden-camera” and your account will closed down.

So whenever you post something you have to ask yourself whether you’re willing to lose all your Twitter followers if the image gets reported. Even if you actually have rights to the image. Basically anything with an amateur vibe could be misinterpreted and land you in hot water. I mean have you ever had Twitter respond to a support request? Do you think they’ll bother to hear you out?
