The display image on Amit Shah’s verified Twitter handle was later restored.
The image of Union Interior Minister Amit Shah on Twitter was removed from the microblogging site on Thursday, in response to a “report from the copyright holder.” The social media platform, however, restored photography after a while.
Clicking on the photo of the senior BJP leader on his verified account, a blank page was displayed with the message: “Media not shown. This image has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder. “
“Due to an inadvertent error, we temporarily blocked this account in accordance with our global copyright policies. This decision was immediately reversed and the account is fully functional, ”said a Twitter spokesperson.
According to Twitter’s copyright policy, “In general, the photographer and NOT the subject of a photograph is the beneficial owner of the rights to the resulting photograph.”
Recently, the social media platform had removed the display image on BCCI’s verified identifier, citing similar concerns.
