Earlier today, a Twitter spokesperson told me that the social media network doesn’t allow the posting of another person’s private information, but that it does allow linking to such information.
“We review all reported content against our rules, which prohibit posting another person’s private information. Please note that this only applies to content (text or images) posted within a tweet; we do not follow links to apply our rules to other sites. If a user or company (e.g., Sony) submits an actionable DMCA takedown request to us, we’ll disclose that to Chilling Effects,” the spokesperson said, referring to a website designed to catalog government and company social media takedown requests.
