WASHINGTON: Twitter's new picture permission policy was aimed at combating online abuse, but US activists and researchers said on Friday that far-right backers have employed it to protect themselves from scrutiny and to harass opponents.

"Anyone with a Twitter account should be reporting doxxing posts from the following accounts," the message said, with a list of dozens of Twitter handles. In announcing the privacy policy on Tuesday, Twitter noted that"sharing personal media, such as images or videos, can potentially violate a person's privacy, and may lead to emotional or physical harm".

"Twitter is saying I must delete my tweets featuring photographs of people at newsworthy public events that did indeed get news coverage, or I will never get my account back," Loder told AFP, adding it was the third report of their account to Twitter in 48 hours.
