X (formerly Twitter) claims that non-consensual nudity is not tolerated on its platform. But a recent study shows that X is more likely to quickly remove this harmful content—sometimes known as revenge porn or non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII)—if victims flag content through a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown rather than using X’s mechanism for reporting NCII.

    In other words, the consent of a corporation is more important than the consent of a human being… for the public distribution of that human being’s likeness in an intimate context. Holy dystopia, conservatives are fucked in the head.

      The likelihood of being sued is the issue. The DMCA has tons of case law behind it making it a powerful tool for the media companies. Not so much for NCII. Also, individuals usually don’t have legal teams.

      So as with much fuckery in the modern world, we can use the rules as well as they can. If someone’s image is shared as NCII, they only need flag it as a DMCA violation. Problem being, who is going to know that trick?

    Everyone should just share the image of Elon before his hair plugs and watch how fast it gets taken down.

    No common decency or law enforcement in the Nazi bar. Anyone surprised?

    Will the authorities actually do anything?

    Xitter might as well call it the “Maybes and Conditions” with how much they cherrypick their T&Cs nowadays

      I’m not sure how you can miss the point while simultaneously spelling it out at the same time. Quite the feat.
