You cannot prevent that and it cannot be policed.
- Zenst 7y agoI concur about preventing, though T&C's could enable policing. Also a nice (c) notice would enable self-policing upon such infractions to some extent. But certainly it will not be a fluid process currently. Let's see if they update T&C's to accommodate that aspect.
- OedipusRex 7y agoT&Cs stop at Twitter's border.
- baddox 7y agoWhy would they want to police it? Surely Twitter is perfectly fine with you posting screenshots of things of interest (obviously within obscenity and legal restrictions).
- Jagat 7y agoBecause if users posting screenshots of fleets becomes a common thing, users would be averse to post fleets?
- baddox 7y agoI don't know. Twitter reposts of TikTok videos seems ubiquitous, but it seems like TikTok is still thriving. I don't think the primary reason people post a story rather than a permanent post is that they want to ensure the story only lasts for a day. At least for Instagram, I think it's more about keeping your main feed highly curated while still being able to hammer out tons of stories.
- luckylion 7y agoCopyrighting tweets? I love the idea as a demonstration of the absurd extent of copyright, but I'd expect virtually no tweets to be considered copyrightable.
- ASalazarMX 7y agoIANAL, but I feel like an original tweet to @bbcmicrobot should be copyrightable. Maybe adding a little © at the end to signal original authorship?
- ohmaigad 7y agoThis idea has been looked at - https://copyrightalliance.org/ca_faq_post/tweet-protected-copyright/ https://copyrightalliance.org/ca_faq_post/tweet-protected-co... Seems that if you posted an original joke it should be copyrightable.
- jeromegv 7y agoBecause the other twitter terms and conditions on harassment are so well policed. That some people are concerned about screenshots instead of bullying, harassment, etc that we see every day on the platform is quite something.
- Zenst 7y agoWell, you often find screenshots ARE used for harassment in as stealth retweets that make it hard for the original poster to counter the re-contexting and perversion of what they wrote. That happens all the time, so yeah - it is a tool used to bully and harass, used all the time upon twitter.
- aeturnum 7y agoIt seems pretty trivial (though perhaps not scalable) to do some kind of image recognition that looks for the Fleet format and flag it for review / policing.
- kevinstubbs 7y agoWhy can't it be prevented? Doesn't seem like they should have much difficulty recognizing that it was a screenshot of a "fleet", but other commenters make it sound like it's too difficult. So I'm wondering what others are taking into account that I'm missing.
- kabacha 7y agoHow exactly would twitter know if something is screenshotted? The way snapchat does this is check screenshots folder for new files while you are watching the story - to avoid this all you need is an different screenshot app that saves screenshots somewhere else. Now twitter has multiple apps, multiple platforms including desktop. You'd need some absurd DRM that would be broken anyway to enforce this.
- SomewhatLikely 7y agoIt may be possible to watermark the ux so that at least posting the screenshot could be blocked on their own platform.
- thekyle 7y ago> The way snapchat does this is check screenshots folder for new files Does this mean that the Snapchat screenshot detection doesn't work if you don't give it the storage permission?
