Twitter says that this policy update will 'curb the misuse of media to harass, intimidate, and reveal the identities of private individuals'.

Their private information policy has been around for a while, and includes basic things like banning the sharing of someone’s address, identity documentation, contact information, etc. In addition to this, Twitter now made it so that you can’t post media of someone else without their consent.

To clarify the motivations behind this change, Twitter said this in a thread: “This policy update will help curb the misuse of media to harass, intimidate, and reveal the identities of private individuals, which disproportionately impacts women, activists, dissidents, and members of minority communities.”

They will require a first-person report of the photo/video in question . Twitter will remove the tweet once they approve your report claim. If the post was found to be part of harassment, intimidation, or threat, then they will remove it under the abusive behaviour policy. If it’s a private nude image, they will remove it under the non-consensual nudity policy.
