In a blog post, Twitter has announced that it has updated the scope of its private information policy to cover the sharing of private media, including photos and videos, of individuals without their consent. Twitter said sharing of personal media “can potentially violate a person’s privacy” and noted it can take enforcement action when images or videos are posted without an individual’s consent.

The policy is an extension of the rules already being enforced in the UK, the EU, Australia and New Zealand.
