Twitter, which gave a very serious administrative and structural test after Elon Musk’s purchase, apparently does not go well. The platform began to grapple with many problems, as Musk fired many names, some of those who were not fired left their posts, and the criticisms received.
Finally, the platform’s automatic copyright tracking/removal system seems to be disabled. A user uploaded the entire Tha Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift movie to the platform. He achieved this by dividing the film into 50 two-minute parts and making a single list.
The movie was not removed from the platform
After the movie was uploaded, the process progressed quite interestingly. Generally, this type of copyrighted content uses the phrase “this media cannot be played”. You will not be able to access the media even if the tweet and account remain. This time, an employee from Twitter removed the posts with his own hands and blocked the account.
The problem doesn’t end there, it gets even more interesting. On mobile, users can access the posts on the account that has been closed and can also watch the movie. Those who have favorited the posts can still access the posts even if the post has been removed.
This basically shows that the copyright system is faulty. Moreover, even if only one account has been closed, the reason for this is that the account has attracted attention because it is viral. Unobtrusive accounts or backup accounts seem to be able to continue sharing without any problems. Especially when little-known productions are shared, there are almost no sanctions.
Aside from the fact that this situation can be used for petty trolls, media giants can jam the platform with DMCA violations and potential legal sanctions. Especially giants like Disney can initiate very serious legal sanctions when such situations arise.
