As Twitter announced a new CEO and updated its "Private Information" policy to include privacy considerations for different types of media (including still images and video clips), Twitter has undergone a week of changes.

According to CNN, on Monday (November 29), Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced that he will step down and appointed the company's former chief technology officer Parag Agrawal to replace him Position.

One day after the lineup was changed, the technology company updated its "Privacy Information" policy and announced it on Twitter's official blog.

The announcement read: "People are increasingly worried about the misuse of media and information, which is not available elsewhere on the Internet, as a tool for harassment, intimidation, and disclosure of personal identities." "The abuse of private media affects everyone, but it will Women, activists, dissidents, and members of ethnic minority communities have a disproportionate impact. When we receive reports that tweets contain unauthorized private media, we will now choose our law enforcement options. "

If shared media is seen as an explicit abuse, the pre-existing policy allows Twitter to intervene. Now, the company will be able to act upon consent. This means that if someone does not agree to share their private media, it will be deleted regardless of whether it is abused or not.

The complaint must be submitted by the individual or authorized representative involved and can be placed here.

Twitter's new "Private Media" policy is effective today (November 30) worldwide.

The policy also includes any media that is private property, with little warning.

The technology company said it will consider whether to share certain media in a way that increases the "value of public discourse" or "public interest."

They also solve the situation of sharing private media (such as photos) in a crisis situation, if the publication of the media exceeds the "security risk to one person".

There are also some factors that must be considered when dealing with celebrities and other public figures. For example, according to the previous policy, leaked nude photos of celebrities will be deleted, while other shots are slightly looser.

Many people have already raised questions about policy details on Twitter. For example, MarketWatch pointed out that users are worried that people will complain in the background of the photo.

Other users are not sure what to do with footage of protests, incidents such as the attack on the Capitol on January 6, and violent footage of police interacting with George Floyd. There are also concerns about how this will affect local news reports.

I hope Twitter can solve these problems and add more clarity in the next few days.
