Twitter will now let private individuals request takedowns of pictures or videos of them posted without their consent. The change is part of Twitter’s expanded private information policy, which the company claims is intended to safeguard users from physical or emotional abuse.
Twitter users are already prohibited from publishing people’s home addresses, Government IDs, and other sensitive information under the policy.
The restriction does not apply to public figures whose media appearances and tweets are of public interest, but information depicting them may be removed if the company believes it was published “to intimidate, harass, or use fear to silence them.”
