Twitter unveils new privacy rules that affect media sharing
This page was translated using AI and machine learning.
(Pocket-lint) – If you are planning to make a meme out of an image or video of someone you saw on Twitter and share it, you might need to think again. The social network has added a new line in its privacy policy that prohibits the sharing of private media without the subject’s permission.
Its private information policy now prohibits the sharing of “private media without the authorization of the person (s) represented”.
This measure was taken to protect the privacy of any unintentional person and / or prevent the misuse of the image or video of others :, and to reveal the identity of individuals. Sharing personal media, such as pictures or videos, can potentially invade a person’s privacy and can result in emotional or physical damage. The misuse of private media can affect anyone, but can have a disproportionate effect on women, activists, dissidents and members of minority communities. “
It’s a little dip in the ocean when it comes to making Twitter a safer, more user-friendly place, but it’s a start.

Most posts flagged as having media shared without permission will be removed when notified. The context will however be used. For example, if someone shares a photo of a friend in distress, it is unlikely to be deleted.
Twitter will also take into consideration whether the image or video is of public interest – ie. also covered by traditional media. And public figures will be exempt if the speech is also in context and does not conflict with the network’s guidelines on abusive behavior.
