That is fear mongering. Nothing stops you from taking the pictures, nothing stops you from posting the pictures. It only provides a mechanism to allow the unposting of specific reported pictures from twitter. You have to see one heck of a slippery slope to see this policy and jump immediately to "it's impossible to take pictures of public places.'
- Kye 5y agoAccounts are already report bombed off Twitter for tweets that didn't in any way violate the rule they were tagged as violating, and appeals go nowhere. I do not have any trust in Twitter's ability to make this discernment.
- shkkmo 5y agoTwitter doing a bad job of determining which photos are "in the public interest" and removing photoes that should not be removed still doesn't translate to "you can't take photos of public places" by any measure. At the very worst it just means that people stop posting photos on twitter to avoid one avenue of report bombing. I have repeatedly argued that we need legal user protections that protect users from large corporations arbitrarily enforcing their rules with no real appeal process or transparency. However, fear mongering with projections that have no basis in reality does not help move us in that direction.
