Twitter has announced that it now explicitly bans the posting of sexually explicit images without the consent of the subject of those images.
From the article:
Twitter has become the latest online platform to ban "revenge porn," or the posting of sexually explicit images of a person without consent.
In updated terms of service released Wednesday, Twitter explicitly banned "intimate photos or videos that were taken or distributed without the subject's consent."
The update comes following Reddit's announcement last month of a similar ban, which came after the online bulletin board was criticized for allowing the distribution of hacked nude pictures of Hollywood stars.
The new policy is detailed in The Twitter Rules which are included by reference into the Twitter Terms of Service.
Have you been a victim of "revenge porn"?
Have you posted explicit photos of others without their permission?
