Twitter issues outright ban for revenge porn

Twitter now expressly prohibits users from posting revenge porn and other non-consensual intimate photos on its service. The social network has been under pressure to address harassment and abuse rampant on their platform. It’s a good thing they’ve set actual changes on their terms of service. We’re hoping the application is swift.

According to Twitter, “You may not post intimate photos or videos that were taken or distributed without the subject’s consent.” Violating this policy could get your account locked.

Tumblr updates terms of service to prohibit impersonation, promote attribution, etc.

Tumblr has updated its terms of service for the first time in two years and released a draft of it on Github before they post it on the site. At the heart of the update, Tumblr wanted to provide guidelines or rules for how users should use the blogging site. The Yahoo!-owned company is reminding users to attribute sources properly when reposting and stop impersonating companies, people, etc. Those who repeatedly violate the new rules can have their accounts suspended or blocked completely.
