These findings come at a time when the two social media platforms are increasing their emphasis on news. I did email the folks that filed the DMCA complaints, and let them know my story behind what I did and asked for forgiveness, we will see if that goes anywhere. If they retract their complaints I believe twitter will re-instate me.
I also emailed twitter and got the exact same automated response back that they sent me originally about my account being suspended. I understand the copyright issues behind what I did, I'm a bit surprised that deleting the tweets isn't sufficient when this happens. But I can see the problem that would create if bots were involved, they would just create more after deleting them. In my case I do believe these are mostly technicalities and nothing that is in the spirit of piracy, or trying to profit from the music content of the artists or companies that represent them. From the side of twitter I understand it must be hard to put perfect rules in place that can police social media at scale.
In the mean time I will take a break from twitter and focus on many of the other important things in life I can spend my time on. Before Trump, social media platforms didn't see the need for defined policies or special rules for world leaders. When it comes specifically to news and information about government and politics, Facebook users are more likely to post and respond to content, while Twitter users are more likely to follow news organizations. About one-third of Facebook users (32%) say they post about government and politics on Facebook, and 28% comment on these types of posts. That compares to a quarter of Twitter users (25%) who tweet about this news topic and 13% who reply to tweets on this topic posted by others. But following news outlets directly is more common on Twitter.About half (46%) of Twitter users follow news organizations, reporters or commentators, compared with about three-in-ten (28%) of Facebook users.
In 2020, Stan Twitter, in particular K-pop fan accounts, received media attention over its involvement in American politics. During the George Floyd protests, many hashtags opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement, including #AllLivesMatter, #WhiteLivesMatter, #WhiteoutWednesday, and #BlueLivesMatter, were flooded with images and videos of K-pop artists to drown out those using them. Similarly, when the Dallas Police Department asked people on Twitter to submit videos of protesters, its iWatch Dallas app was instead flooded with fancams. K-pop stans and TikTok users also took credit for falsely requesting tickets to President Trump's Tulsa rally on June 20, 2020, leading to a disappointing turnout. Follow media topics, Tweet threads & live videos, to keep your finger on the pulse of what's happening. Whether you're interested in sports highlights, pop culture memes or politics, Twitter is your source of information.
The station apologized for the mistake on the morning newscast and on the station's social media accounts the next day. It appears from this policy if you do something as simple as share 6 clips from a music festival you are at risk of getting your account suspended as well. And multiple shares of the same content count as multiple violations. So if you have a single piece of content that is in violation that you really like, and share it 6 times over any period of time, you are at risk of getting suspended as well.
If you want to be safe, scroll back through your twitter feed all the way to the beginning and delete anything with an artists name, or song title. Also any videos you may have posted with music playing in the background can cause you to get a DMCA violation as well. If in doubt, you could try the music recognizing tool Shazam to see if it recognizes the song. There is a delay of sometimes a few months before you may receive a complaint. It's a role that's been handed down, passed around, and shared by about eight different people over eight years. That might be anticlimactic, but the social media sleight of hand also served as a great source of enjoyment for the Golf Channel employees who handled the handle.
All of them had other components to their jobs—writing, editing, TV—but because of the heavy time commitment required to run Tiger Tracker on location at tournaments, the task of keeping the account active had to be a group effort. Inside Golf Channel, and even among some journalists who cover golf for other media outlets, the ruse was mostly an open secret. And yet so many Tiger Tracker loyalists never figured it out, which amused the team behind the composite sketch. There have been several instances of celebrities deactivating or taking a break from using their social media accounts due to harassment directed at them from their own stans.
In 2016, Normani of Fifth Harmony briefly quit using Twitter due to Fifth Harmony stans. In 2017, American rapper Cupcakke also opted to stop using Twitter because she received death threats from BTS stans, after she made a sexual comment about member Jungkook. Millie Bobby Brown, an actress most notable for her role in Stranger Things, also deactivated her Twitter account due to a meme popular in the Stan Twitter community.
The meme falsely attributed violent and homophobic language and behavior to Brown. Of course, popular hashtags differ depending on what social media platform you're using. On LinkedIn, popular hashtags include #leadership and #productivity. #6) The final violation was a video I shared from CES 2019 where a Tesla Model S in autonomous mode has a collision with a Promobot. I thought this was a funny example of autonomous devices conflicting with each other. The problem here doesn't appear to be the use of Tesla or CES content, but I believe music playing in the background, as it is a takedown request from Universal Music Publishing Group .
This is the one tweet I didn't get the chance to delete when I got the request, since my account suspended when this one went through. You can see it was a bulk submission from UMPG including 6000 other tweets from other sources. Interesting again, this implies they may be scraping videos to do song recognition in the video content, since there is no music or artist title listed in the tweet. #2 and #3) These counted as 2 DMCA complaints, but were the same content shared on 2 different dates. Note the credit given to the source for the beautiful drone footage he took in Hawaii. I love to celebrate Aloha Fridays and try to spread the Aloha whenever I can.
In this case it wasn't the author who complained, it was the fact that he had used a song called Roses by The Chainsmokers. I didn't recognize the background music, that was negligence on my part for not doing the research on that song. One interesting thing here is that I never mentioned anything about the song or artist in the tweet. This leads me to believe the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry ("IFPI") who filed the complaint is doing audio recognition on videos posted on Twitter. Perhaps they are scraping content and using some type of AI to find these things.
Clicking through the hashtag, I found a slightly more irritating story. Earlier that day, the alt-right personality Jack Posobiec had tweeted, "Today I am launching the #NoPawsLeftBehind Campaign," and asked people to post photos of their dogs "in solidarity with the service dogs left behind in Afghanistan." "Use the hashtag," he wrote. "Let's get it trending." Of course, random people obliged, because random people like nothing more than to tweet blurry pictures of their pets with captions such as "Mocha and Macey sending prayers of comfort and safety to those brave service dogs! "Sparky stands in solidarity with every service dog," wrote New York Representative Claudia Tenney. Each event will have a little downward facing arrow in the top right corner.
Tap that if you want to see why Twitter thinks you're interested in it or to hide it from your timeline. This new feature joins other recent Twitter additions including expanded tweet limits and an upcoming bookmarking function. As of now, Happening Now will only include sports events, but Twitter says the feature will be expanded in the coming months to include things like breaking news and entertainment developments. Stan Twitter is a community of Twitter users that post opinions related to music, celebrities, TV shows, movies, and social media.
The community has been noted for its particular shared terminology but also for incidents of harassment and bullying. Usually, Stan Twitter revolves around discussing actors, singers, rappers, or anyone that fits in the definition of a celebrity, such as influencers. With the new IT rules coming in effect, social media companies in India originally had till 25 May to comply with the new rules.
The new guidelines require social media platforms to establish a grievance redressal mechanism and name a grievance officer, who must register a grievance within 24 hours and redress it in 15 days. Before this, the actress used 'Samantha Akkineni' for all her social media accounts. Now, her Twitter and Instagram handles have 'S' in place of her name. While some are speculating it to be a personal choice, others think it could be for her upcoming film "Shakuntalam". Such is celebrity fandom that every little detail about film stars become a topic of discussion among their fans on the Internet.
Be it posing for the paparazzi for pictures or changing their name on social media. Recently, popular Telugu and Tamil film actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu dropped 'Akkineni' from her social media accounts and changed it to 'S'. Soon after, all eyes turned to the actress making fans wonder what led the actress to go for the change. Bolsonaro, who has modeled his presidency on Trump's and has run afoul of Twitter's and Facebook's rules, seems to be preparing for the possibility. After Trump was banned, Bolsonaro encouraged his Twitter and Facebook followers to follow him on Telegram. Khamenei, whose unverified accounts post Holocaust denials and call for the destruction of Israel, is frequently held up as an example of Twitter's and Facebook's double standards when they regulate Trump's speech.
Twitter became more restrictive in the latter half of Trump's presidency, placing notices on tweets from political figures that broke its rules, as well as limiting their spread. In October 2019, Twitter again laid out its policies regarding world leaders, including what content was still subject to their terms of service — that is, the exemptions to the world leader exemptions. Here, Twitter noted that its policies may change depending on the "increasingly complex and polarized political culture." The company also noted that "context matters" when it came to its decisions about threats of violence. Trump's ban came after years of the social media giants allowing him to push their limits, creating and adjusting their rules about world leaders to avoid having to take action against him — and to avoid positioning themselves as the arbiters of acceptable political speech.
Citing the public interest and newsworthiness of almost anything world leaders had to say, Facebook and Twitter allowed them to break some of their rules. As social media researchers who have tracked events online by analysing keywords, topics and sentiments organised under hashtags, we were not surprised by what we saw on Twitter following England's defeat. In anticipation of abuse and bullying post-match, we archived tweets just prior to kick-off and kept a close eye on Twitter after the result was announced. We were familiar with the power of English football to dominate Twitter conversations.
Search hashtags and trending topics to stay updated on your friends & other Twitter followers. Follow the tweets of your favorite influencers, alongside hundreds of interesting Twitter users, and read their content at a glance. Twitter, of course, already offers ways to tune into live events via its network, including via its live video streams of an event, as well as by following an event's hashtag – like #wwdc for Apple's Developer conference, for instance.
The rise in the share of social media users getting news on Facebook or Twitter cuts across nearly every demographic group.Use of Twitter for news, for example, grew among both users under 35 (55% to 67%) and those ages 35 and older (47% to 59%). And on Facebook, news use grew among both men (44% to 61%) and women (49% to 65%). These data also reveal that news exposure is relatively equal within all demographic groups, with the exception of age. Though news usage among those under 35 increased at roughly the same rate as among those ages 35 and older, on Facebook, younger users are more likely to see news than older users.
As more social networking sites recognize and adapt to their role in the news environment, each will offer unique features for news users, and these features may foster shifts in news use. Those different uses around news features have implications for how Americans learn about the world and their communities, and for how they take part in the democratic process. This examination of Facebook and Twitter sheds light on the similarities and differences of these two prominent social media platforms.
Although both social networks have the same portion of users getting news on these sites, there are significant differences in their potential news distribution strengths. Aside from deactivating their accounts, artists have also addressed their fans, requesting them to not go after those perceived to be critical or detrimental to the artist. In a light-hearted post, country and pop singer Bebe Rexha mentioned her father's critical take on her more "risqué scenes" in her "Last Hurrah" music video. Some of her stans posted "mean" comments about her father in response, which resulted her in stating, "Don't say mean things about my dad, please."
A common activity that those in the Stan Twitter community engage in is sharing memes with each other and onto their Twitter accounts. Polygon wrote about how those in Stan Twitter share memes with the belief that the memes have an insular quality to them. One meme, "Stan Twitter, do you know this song?" was noted by media outlets as particularly popular among Stan Twitter, being able to intersect more specific communities. Stan Twitter has been noted for its extremely fanatic culture and behavior. Vanity Fair highlighted American pop singers Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Korean groups BTS as artists who have "extremely fanatic fanbases".
Vanity Fair also credited those fanbases and "stan culture and its associated engines" with helping propel the popularity of music videos for those artists. Stan Twitter has also been highlighted for commonly sharing memes within respective communities and utilizing a particular vernacular and terminology. Online stan accounts are frequently run by impassioned teenagers, and they can "take on a corporate monotone on par with many singers' own junket." An artist's fanbase is often attached to a nickname used in the media, and in some cases given by the artists themselves. For example, the hashtag #followme has more than 575 million posts on Instagram. Hashtags that solicit likes don't engage your followers and don't add any meaning to your social media post.
It looks like music and sports are a couple of the hot spots, but I'm sure there are more. For example what if you post a video of your friend singing karaoke? Acting in good faith and being a good person doesn't seem to save you, it seems to be more about technicalities and luck of the draw. Because the posts were published near simultaneously, news of the breach spread quickly.
Many brands took down the malicious Tweets and locked their social media accounts within minutes of the incident. To hear Tracker tell it, executives at the company have "always taken for granted and not taken the time to understand it." TT thought some of the bosses misunderstood the handle's impact on social media and the effort it required to keep it all up and running. For the most part, Tracker thought the brass just sort of overlooked the account. It was good for the team because it kept the bosses off Tracker's collective ass, especially when it was being more snarky and cheeky than a megacorporation that prefers an otherwise anodyne voice might have liked.
It was decidedly less beneficial, though, when TT needed to come up with a plan to do its job. But the platforms avoided taking much — or any — action on Trump's posts that promoted violence. Twitter kept the tweet up but placed a notice on it, while Facebook did nothing. CEO Mark Zuckerberg would later say that while he understood the desire to remove some politicians' content, he still believed it was better that the public know what their leaders are saying.
Twitter explains that the blue verified badge on the profile lets people know that an account of public interest is authentic. The company notes that governments, companies, news organisations, entertainment, sports stars, and activists can all apply to get the verified badge. If your account qualifies basis requirements, you should keep a lookout for the account verification option to appear in your account settings. Select the appropriate category that you fall under, supply a government-issued identity document, and hit submit.
Background Twitter is a rapidly growing social networking site with approximately 124 million users worldwide. Twitter allows users to post brief messages ('tweets') online, on a range of everyday topics including those dealing with health and wellbeing. Currently, little is known about how tweets are used to convey information relating to specific injuries, such as concussion, that commonly occur in youth sports. Depending on who you ask, social media is either a life-changing resource for like-minded people to find each other, or a time-sapping sewer of anonymous abuse and shallow clicktivism, writes Annabel Crabb. Read moreThe ABC's last Australia Talks survey found that only 6 per cent of Australians use Twitter regularly — the same proportion as Reddit.
It is well past time for news websites to stop running lazy stories that begin with "Twitter has reacted angrily to ". It is that the bullying and harassment now comes, not in an occasional phone call from a real person, but at a furious pace on social media from politicians' acolytes, lackeys, fans and proxies, mostly — but not always — operating anonymously. It is non-stop, personal, often vile, frequently unhinged and regularly based on fabrications. It has the effect of an angry phone call from a politician magnified thousands of times over. Twitter is such a black hole—of words, of images, of coherent thought—that it's hard to remember sometimes that there are actual human beings employed to manage its chaos so that, on the surface at least, it appears to be a sensibly functioning social media application. The most tangible example of this is the "What's Happening" sidebar, where trending topics are corralled with explanatory paragraphs that describe in short sentences why a given news item is all over the place.
