    Twitter bans!

    Twitter has published an update to its private information policy that specifically bans the publication of photos and videos (media) of private individuals without the permission of those depicted.

    I stole this from

    Is Twitter that ignorant about public space ? Just wondering aloud.

    On occasion I noticed there is real life outside the GG/viewfinder.

    I think that people should read the actual policy before getting worked up about this: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topic...-policy-update

    I don't think that it's going to have any effect on activities like street photography.

    Twitter will only act on the basis of a complaint from a person whose consent has not been obtained, and there are broad exceptions.

    This addition is part of a broader policy that is directed at people who are using Twitter for the purpose of harassment, intimidation, revenge, making threats, etc.

    I think that this is PetaPixel working really hard at spinning this into something it isn't. Given the purpose of the policy, its exceptions and the way it has to be invoked, I don't think that this will have any impact whatsoever on street photography
