    Twitter on Tuesday banned the sharing of photos and videos of private individuals without their consent, the company said in a blog post. The update to its private information policy notes that people can contact the microblogging platform to have such media removed.

    The ban doesn't apply to public figures if the media and tweet are of public interest, but content featuring those people may be removed if the site determines it's been shared "to harass, intimidate, or use fear to silence them."

    ===================================

    Well, my last Twitter thread was deleted, so I have to start a new one. I don't think the Moderators that deleted actually realized that the content was from multiple sources and I did not copy paste an entire article, but added a local news report... well anyways... it's gone.

    So, now they are targeting Citizen Journalists like Andy Ngo. That is the real intent here and everyone knows it. People like Andy or Project Veritas will be run off.


    Additionally, here is a quote from the new Twitter Policy:

    “The misuse of private media can affect everyone, but can have a disproportionate effect on women, activists, dissidents, and members of minority communities.”

    Why don't they just say they hate White People?


    Update: They have also just now banned Memes. (not joking)

    Good decision.

    But, the justification for it is more idiot race baiting nonsense.

    And fools buy right into it.

    It would be a better decision is twitter ceased to exist. Its a racist company that hates white people. Par for the course for so many dems though.

    Those that applaud Leftist Authoritarianism and censorship would. We all know how this goes, especially from the Leftist and racist statements that have come out of the new scumbag CEO.

    100% get on board with making Twitter cease to exist as well as Facebook and all social media. America was a much better place before we knew what everybody thought

    Private company

    Feel free to make your own competing company instead of screaming fascist views that people like you should be able to control their ToS.

    Also please look up the word authoritarianism before you misuse again.

    They have been proven to coordinate with other Big Tech companies that are also the biggest donors to the Democratic Party and they push their agenda. When you censor the NY Post to help the Democrats gain centralized power over the individuals and local communities.... it is indeed Authoritarianism.

    You're welcome.

    Do you allow people to come on your property and break the rules? Their site. Their rules. You and Orange Jesus and anybody that doesn't like it are free to get your own domain and make whatever rules you want.

    Again, please look up what the word authoritarianism means. You keep using it incorrectly. Just saying “your welcome” instead of actually understanding the word you are failing to use correctly screams willful ignorance.

    And any media that skews the news to paint a specific partisan goal deserves to be treated as the filth that it is.

    You say that now, but once CNN says something you want them to say regardless of how much of a lie it is...you wont say a word.

    Property owners get to do that on their own property. There isn't anything more 'Murican than that.

    The MSM is overwhelmingly leftist in bias and propaganda.

    Which doesn't negate the point that righties just lurve themselves some fascist propaganda, like FuxNoise, OANN, Newsminimum, DeadBreitfart, The Gateway Peckerwood - just to name a few...

    I think you are missing the /S.

    If not the irony is hilarious. You are sharing you thoughts and opinion that all social media should cease to exist and that America was a better place before we knew what everyone thought on a social media platform. :D

    GREAT!

    Great Decision...
    It's About Time and Long OVERDUE!

    Andy Ngo and PV are among the True MORONS of Twitter.

    If Andy Ngo is actually (and really) effectively deplatformed, what will become of all of those actors that he hires to pose as "BLM/Antifa" and stage a Mock Outrage Incident?

    Great decision (all the way around).
    Bravo, Twitter!:flagus:

    You applaud censorship?

    So nobody can share any video of police brutality on the platform. You think that's good?

    When it comes to fascist propaganda, there is no one who loves it more than the left getting from CNN, MSNBC, etc etc etc.

    really so footage like George Floyd's death is something you shouldn't be allowed to see?

    You should understand if you support centers yet you support censorship of information you want. You shouldn't praise people deciding what you get to know and what you don't
    oh you support selective censorship just people you don't like should be censored or not censored based on whatever is worse for them. Because when they make organizations you like look bad it's a problem for you
    Strange you would put an American flag next to a pro KGB sentiment.

    Except...That ISN'T the case.
    You, obviously, misunderstand the new Twitter policy:

    The following media is exempted from the policy:

    • the media is publicly available or is being covered by mainstream media;
    • the media and the accompanying tweet text add value to the public discourse or are shared in public interest;
    • contains eyewitness accounts or on the ground reports from developing events;
    • the subject of the media is a public figure.

    True...
    And, as usual, so many EXPECTED Comments from the "Twitter Bad! Twitter Authoritarian" crowd.

    Here is the Bottom Line...

    All of the RW Criticism of Twitter boils down to one thing:

    Sour Grapes from the RW because the LW beat them to the punch in inventing Twitter.


    Boo-freaking-hoo...
