A day after Twitter changed its CEO, the social media giant has now introduced a tightening of rules. In a stepping up of the network's policy, the platform has now banned users from sharing private images of others without their consent.

Twitter now allows non-public figures to request that pictures or videos of them that appear to have been posted without their permission be taken down.

The company emphasised that the policy does not apply to "public figures or individuals when media and accompanying tweet text are shared in the public interest or add value to public discourse."

"We will always try to assess the context in which the content is shared and, in such cases, we may allow the images or videos to remain on the service," the company added.

The right of internet users to challenge third parties who post their images or data to platforms, especially when the third party is using them in a malicious way, has been debated for years.

Currently, Twitter prohibits publishing private information such as a person's phone number or address, but there are "growing concerns" about the use of content to "harass, intimidate and reveal the identities of individuals," the company said.

The company noted a "disproportionate effect on women, activists, dissidents, and members of minority communities."

As with other social media platforms, Twitter has had trouble combating bullying, misinformation and hate-filled content.

One of the more prominent examples of online harassment is the barrage of racist, sexist, and homophobic abuse on Twitch, the world's largest video game streaming site.

Yet harassment is common, and victims must often wage lengthy legal battles to have hurtful, insulting or illegally produced images of themselves removed from online platforms.

The tightened policy prompted some Twitter users to ask for clarifications.

"Does this mean that if I take a picture of, say, a concert in Central Park, I need the permission of everyone in it? We diminish the sense of the public to the detriment of the public," tweeted Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor at the City University of New York.

Twitter tightens rules, bans sharing people's photos without consent

Twitter on Tuesday announced plans to monetise specialised content on the portal through its “Ticketed Spaces” and "Super Follows" features. As part of pilot testing, Twitter will offer the feature to a few influencers in the United States, allowing their fans to pay for content.

The company began accepting applications from Twitter users in the US who are trying to earn money through “Ticketed Spaces” or “Super Follows”.

What are "Ticketed Spaces" and "Super Follows"?

“Ticketed Spaces” refers to exclusive and unique live audio experiences on Twitter, but users may not join in for free. Regular “Spaces” continues to remain free. Monetised Spaces could cost anything between $1-$999.

"Ticketed Spaces helps you create unique and exclusive live audio experiences in Twitter Spaces, ones your audience is willing to pay for," Ellen Havlicek&nbsp;and&nbsp;Esther Crawford of the company’s product team were cited as saying by AFP.

“Super Follows” is a feature that enables creators to charge for exclusive content on a monthly basis. The pricing for this feature is set at $2.99, $4.99 and $9.99 per month.

"Super Follows gives you a direct relationship with your most engaged followers that can generate monthly revenue”, the company’s product team said.

What's in it for Twitter?

The company will take three per cent of the first $50,000 any user amasses through selling tickets. After the first time, Twitter’s cut of&nbsp;the share will jump to 20 per cent. Influencers have a lot of clout on social media and will now have the chance to make a living through their presence&nbsp;with help from promotion campaigns.&nbsp;

Twitter is also testing a paid ad-free feature but it is unclear when the feature will be rolled out. Currently, the company is attempting to increase its revenue without disrupting the flow of content on its portal.

"We want to help make Twitter not just a fun place to engage your audience, but a place where you can earn money driving great conversations," Crawford and Havlicek added in the post.
