Hopefully this is the end of twitter relevancy. But we are seeing fascism at work.

“censorship is bad”. But oh wait here’s a policy saying you can’t out people for saying nword or potentially lynching someone because they’re a private citizen.

This is the case in GDPR I believe, photography requires consent and waivers to be signed.

There should atleast be an exception for news / content that's not based on opinion perspective.

Nah. Anything on a public street is fair game. For anyone. It's how news operates.
Anything on private property you need permission to publish.

How Does GDPR Affect How You Handle Client Photos? - TheLawTog®

its a legal mandate

So, if a photograph of someone’s face is covered by GDPR as PII, what does that mean for you, the photographer?
You would need explicit consent to store, process, or publish unless you are using the image for employment or government mandated purposes.

You would need to inform any EU resident individual of their data privacy rights under GDPR including the right of access, the right to erasure (you can request to have your personal data erased unless it is needed to fulfill a legal obligation), the right to data portability (you can request to have your data available to you in a structured format), and the right to withdraw consent (it must be as easy to withdraw consent as it was to give it), among others.

. “This policy is not applicable to media featuring public figures or individuals when media and accompanying Tweet text are shared in the public interest or add value to public discourse.”


So they're banning legitimate private videos and pictures, not images of people in public. So police officers and Karens are still fair game.
