I've seen a lot of copyrighted media shared by people on Twitter who are not the owners, and this is the first time I've seen the copyright notice as shown on the president's tweet. I've seen tweets taken down at the request of their authors (or retweets from their original authors), but not in this form - that's what makes it seem (to me) more suspect. If this were happening regularly with the millions of other daily instances (from celebrities to countless other regular users), it would be a little more defensible. The objection here isn't to DMCA takedown requests; it's the blatant (and politically-motivated) inconsistency in the application of their rules.

That's not how DMCA works. It's not automatic, somebody has to specifically target a tweet and show that it violates their copyright. You see copyrighted material all the time because big studios don't think it's worth it to file a legal document to claim every single 30 second clip anybody posts. It's not Twitter's decision whether to file a claim, it's the copyright holder's.

  > It's not automatic, somebody has to specifically target a tweet and show that it violates their copyright. No, they don't have to show that, they just have to assert it.
