New Delhi:
The Twitter image of Union Interior Minister Amit Shah was removed by the microblogging site on Thursday, in response to a “report from the copyright holder.”
Clicking on Mr. Shah’s display image on his verified identifier, a blank page was displayed with the message: “Media not displayed. This image has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder.” .
The image was restored after a while. “Due to an inadvertent mistake, we temporarily blocked this account under our global copyright policies. This decision was immediately reversed and the account is fully functional,” said a Twitter spokesperson.
Twitter’s copyright policy states: “In general, the photographer and NOT the subject of a photograph is the beneficial owner of the rights to the resulting photograph.”
Twitter had recently removed the display image on BCCI’s official Twitter identifier, also citing copyright infringement.
