Twitter will remove nonconsensual nude images within hours as long as that media is reported for having violated someone’s copyright. If the same content is reported just as nonconsensual intimate media, Twitter will not remove it within weeks, and might never remove it at all, according to a pre-print study from researchers at the University of Michigan.
It sucks that this is the mechanism we have to use for this but a person’s likeness is their own copyright and posting images of someone without permission could be seen as copyright infringement. Granted this also opens a lot of doors to just completely eliminating almost all images from the internet, like imagine going to a tourist destination and having to get permission from anyone who might be in your overdone posed tourist photo.
Edit: Since some of yall are dense motherfuckers and/or just arguing in bad faith, I’m pointing out how going using copyright as the enforcement mechanism opens the door for these already flawed copyright systems to be heavily abused even further. I’m specifically pointing to Right of Publicity, where your likeness is protected from commercial use unless you give permission to post. It’s why any show or movie that’s filmed in a public place blurs people out if they haven’t gotten signed release forms from anyone who appears on camera.
so if Im getting this correct, because zuckerburg runs ads, you can claim the usage is always commercial therefore always subject to copyright control. if you want nudity taken down, you must use (and in the process normalize) this easly abusable loophole that contains absolutely no safeguards.
Not what I’m saying. I’m saying using copyright enforcement systems as the workaround to getting non-consenusal nudes taken down from a website is putting even more burden onto already heavily abused systems. That doesn’t have anything to do with the Zucc running ads, it’s because copyright enforcement systems don’t work very well to begin with and are very easily abused by bad actors. It’s not the right tool for the job, and it would be much better to have something specifically dedicated to getting the non-consensual publishing of nude images taken down instead of some bubblegum and twine hack of a solution through copyright enforcement.

Someone needs to cook up a bot that flags every post on Twitter, Facebook, or reddit with a DCMA takedown.
It’s not unheard of…
