Twitter bans sharing photos, video of people without their consent

Twitter will prohibit users from posting photos or videos of people without their permission, the company said Tuesday.

In a blog post, the company said users will have to file a first-person report or one from an "authorized representative" to ensure that the photo or video has been shared without permission. If the person in the tweet reports it, citing their lack of consent, Twitter will remove the media.
