In recent months Twitter is doing everything possible to increase the security of the platform and reclaim from a range of phenomena, such as ‘ hate speech ( “incitement to’ hate “via social) , who besmirch the operation and jamming the growth possibilities. Why do you feel the users, those who turn the bird to inquire and discuss civilly, uncomfortable. Another element is fairly serious the one baptized in English revenge porn .
It is obviously only a concern for Twitter , but in general any type of platform, from Facebook Instagram . Even if that seems the darling of the sparrow. This is the despicable practice of publishing a little ‘everywhere images of or ex-partner made intimate moments or the result of sexting , in short, of each photo sent via message and email. Photo of nude or video hard popular course without the consent of, or (especially) the interested . Coming to that material identifiers as names, addresses, cities, neighborhoods, phone numbers or e-mail. In 90% of the victims of these abuses digital, but that often have concrete effects in terms of security and psychological repercussions, are women .
Now Twitter least, at the height of crisis that is experiencing recognized recently also by CEO Dick Costolo in an internal email to employees which claims that the company has not yet really taken responsibility for everything that happens on the platform, try to stop this squalid phenomenon. How? With the (few, to be honest) means available. Ie changing the privacy policy for use of the service.
Users who will post such material will be Blocked . Among the abuses possible, in fact, was added prohibiting the publication of “ photo or video with scenes of intimacy produced or distributed without the consent of the subject “, which is added to the existing prohibitions of personal information as addresses, details of credit cards or other identification. Should take the signaling Twitter will verify (the number of members of staff dedicated to this kind of controls has tripled), and if so the tweets will be hidden and the author will be locked.
It seems an element marginal, that of revenge porn , when it has long raised the attention of not only the big players in the web – strong pressures Google – but also legislators. Since 2013, the phenomenon is for example outlawed in California and, more recently, a US federal commission decided to allow easier prosecution in court for this kind of facts.
Something seems to change: The last Hunter Moore , the founder of the portal IsAnyoneUp.com, among the first to have done business online around the pillory sex and to have produced legions of followers, admitted before a US court for his sins, especially related to the work of espionage conducted against numerous victims. Not only ordinary people, though. Sold in the network of sexual ended over the years also different star and celebrity . Although it is not always clear, in these cases, the line between theft of material or real acts of deliberate revenge porn .
