How does Twitter know whether someone has consented or not? They don't. It will start with takedowns due to people claiming that their pic was shown without permission and end with a de facto ban of photos of people. Way it goes.
- lovemenot 5y agoI don't know how Twitter plans to implement this, but I believe they could try to do so in good faith and using automation. 1. Target identifies disputed photo of themself. 2. Twitter issues a dispute ID / QR 3. Target sends in a fresh selfie with the dispute ID printed or on a screen alongside. 4. Twitter performs face analysis of both images and OCR of ID. 5. If faces match and ID is validated, Twitter takes down the disputed image.

- lovemenot 5y agoAre you saying that any means for an individual to have their own image removed would be weaponisation? If so, I disagree. If you are saying that third-parties will scale up access to Twitter's automation in order to take down virtually anything they wish, well I don't see how the proposed system would be so readily exploited. To issue a take down, you'd need to be in possession of the face.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoThere is literally no way Twitter will enforce this rule so heavy handedly. Especially since Tumblr, but even without that case study to learn from… a social media platform without human photos is so laughable a concept that I chuckled typing out those words.
