You can edit any digital content without anyone’s permission, that’s always been how it is.
No, you can’t edit and share copyright content without the risk of legal consequences. This is exactly the problem in X denounced by artists and photographers, who see how the AI uses their works without permission. Also for the normal user it isn’t nice when he found his Photo used by an AI meme creator. Even Google must blur the faces in it’s Strret View for legal reasons, the right of the own image. You can use legally only images which are free to use (CC and similar) or with permissions of the author, because of this there are webs with such content, like Pixabay, Freeimage and similar.
Yeah, yeah you can, the heck? Parody, Fair use, and a variety of other options exist for the purpose described by the guy above you.
That said, you aren’t talking about that and I can’t help but feel like the guy you are responding to is acting in bad faith by intentionally misinterpreting what you are talking about, or they’re a useful idiot who doesn’t know what they are speaking about. Dismissing what they’re talking about is unhelpful. Either provide a context correct correction, or ignore them.
There are no user images on Xitter. Only Xitter’s images. Same for every other corporate social media platform.
This was always allowed. Anything posted publicly on the internet can be manipulated by anyone for any purpose, and has been since the first ASCII art on a bbs existed.
Only for the own use, but not to share or publishing it without permissions. That it is done is clear, but always with te risk of legal consequences if the author is pissed of because it as shown in the past several times with high fines. Copyright content isn’t and never was for the free use.
This platform is just evil, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened it recently. Most recommended posts are just dumb tiktok-like short videos, sometimes soft porn even. All of these mixed with stuff posted by governments, politicians as it’s their way communicate with citizens. It’s just crazy, it’s like we replaced law gazette with posting official stuff in tabloids.
When I went to delete my old twitter account a while back it showed me weird politics stuff. Which it shouldn’t, since the only accounts I followed were video game or tech hardware stuff.
So yeah these algorithms gave up on trying to show relevant things related to peoples interest, but just moved straight to pushing agenda the platform wants their userbase to fixate on.
brb, editing our politician’s photos
Bruh, you can’t use this image without risk of legal consequences
What a bizarre and terrible idea. I def think Twitter circa 2009 was the pinnacle.
I’ll hand it to Elon Musk, tho – the dude knows how to destroy value. I wonder if he literally sets it on fire.
No. Twitter was always a terrible idea that was doomed to be slop
