Twitter will remove nonconsensual nude images within hours as long as that media is reported for having violated someone’s copyright. If the same content is reported just as nonconsensual intimate media, Twitter will not remove it within weeks, and might never remove it at all, according to a pre-print study from researchers at the University of Michigan.

Nonconsensual nudity only hurts people.

Copyright violation hurts profits.

Someone needs to cook up a bot that flags every post on Twitter, Facebook, or reddit with a DCMA takedown.

Shocked! That the guy who owns Twitter isn’t making this a priority.

Wait, it all makes sense when the owner, Elon Musk makes a tone deaf joke about impregnating Taylor Swift.
