>When we are notified by individuals depicted, or by an authorized representative, that they did not consent to having their private image or video shared, we will remove it. This policy is not applicable to media featuring public figures or individuals when media and accompanying Tweet text are shared in the public interest or add value to public discourse.
- NikolaeVarius 5y agoThis is a FUCK-TON of leeway. Imagine a situation where someone punches someone else that is recorded. Millions examples of that on the internet, lols were had, whatever and deleted. Afterward someone makes the claim that it is a hate crime and since twitter isn't the only place where media is stored, do they restore every single instance of the original set of tweets? What is the dividing line between them? When is something private versus something that is 'to the public interest'
- dsizzle 5y agoWho did the deleting in your example? If it was by the poster, this doesn't seem relevant at all. If Twitter is the one deleting it, then I guess that's a judgment call at the time, but to me that sounds like it's in the public interest. You want there to be less leeway?
- IanCal 5y agoWhy would they have to restore anything?
