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.
This is probably because either 1) they’re afraid of lawsuits or 2) they have a better system for handling copyrighted materials than nonconsensual porn.
So I’m a bit curious, is this new under Elon Musk, or was this always an issue?
