It's OK, but the gray zone.

Twitter (Twitter) has announced that it will ban photos and videos without consent to the subject.It is explained that the purpose is to prevent privacy protection and harassment.

Originally, Twitter had a certain policy about personal information, and personal addresses, telephone numbers, e -mail addresses, credit card numbers, medical information, etc. were banned (whether or not there were any problems with problems.)In terms of images and videos, revenge porn has been banned since 2015.This time, the ban was expanded, and it would not be possible to publish if the people who were reflected in videos and images did not agree.

According to Twitter's announcement, "Sharing private media such as images and videos can infringe personal privacy and may lead to mental and physical losses.""The abuse of private media can affect everyone, but it is more likely to have a greater impact on women, activists, dissident and minority society."

ツイッターが被写体の同意のない写真や動画を削除する方針を発表

Deleted after receiving a report from the parties

However, Twitter does not seem to automatically detect images that are likely to be prohibited or delete them aggressively.According to the announcement of Twitter, it is necessary to first report "report by the parties" to delete whether the image / video has been shared without the victim's consent.The only thing that can be reported is the person who appears in the post of the question, or a legal agent, such as the guardian or lawyer of the person, so for example, the reason for "it is a pity that the face of an acquaintance is reflected in".It is a policy that it will not be in contact even if you report.

"If we are notified by an individual or its official agent in the media that we did not agree that personal images or videos were shared, we will delete it."I have.He also says that an account that violates this policy will temporarily lock it until the photo or video of the question is deleted.

If you look at this alone, I think that's right, but there are times when you can easily delete it.For example, someone's ex -girlfriend still finds himself in the former boy's tweet and asks him to delete it.That is possible at all, and even if you delete it, you will not think anything other than the ex -boyfriend.But if a police officer shoots the unreasonable violence of a police officer, it will be able to request the police officer to delete it on Twitter.

Premonition that exception calls moyamoya

There are two exceptions in the new rules, and one is the case where the subject is some kind of public or celebrity.So the images of Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian can be tweeted until they are in mind.The other is OK if the images and videos are "shared for public interests or contributed to public discussions."

The exception is a spicy, and the definition of "public and celebrities" is surprisingly difficult, and "public interest" or "contributing to public discussions" is even more ambiguous.It is like whether to share the unjust violence video of a police officer in the example mentioned earlier, and if there is, if there is, you will accept a deletion request, but in other cases it will not be deleted ...It is a premonition that seems to be.According to THE VERGE, when I asked Twitter the criterion, "We evaluate things in the context where images and videos are shared.I want to say. "

The rules change this time is the timing just after Twitter founder Jack Dorsey resigned as a CEO job, and some are alert to "censorship enhancement."Anyway, as a user, when tweeting images and videos, it seems good to stop standing for a moment if you can get the consent of the person reflected there, including the reflection.
