Twitter will remove nonconsensual nude images within hours as long as that media is reported for having violated someone’s copyright. If the same content is reported just as nonconsensual intimate media, Twitter will not remove it within weeks, and might never remove it at all, according to a pre-print study from researchers at the University of Michigan.

My guy, you seriously aren't pretending that clothed people in the background of a photo is the same as pictures of someone naked taken or posted without their consent, right?

Just ignoring the core context?

Come on.

    I'm not making a comparison between the two, I'm pointing out how resolving posting non-consensual nudes of someone through copyright systems could be abused in other instances. I'm also not saying there shouldn't be a system for having non-consensual nudes taken down, we absolutely should, but it needs to be a system dedicated to taking down non-consensual images, not a patchwork workaround using copyright.
