I’ve never heard that. Just because the content is hosted on Twitter does not mean it’s up to Twitter. It’s up to the target of the complaint to pursue a lawsuit against the complaining party. I’m not a lawyer but I dealt with this a lot as a service provider. We simply had to follow the law and take the content down or else we would be held liable.
The system we had before — the court system — required processing fees simply by the process of filing lawsuits. The DMCA was specifically made so copyright holders can send them in high volume without any review by a judge. They don’t want to be slowed down. That law is working exactly as they intended, even though I strongly disagree with it.
