Potential Twitter TOS issue - advice needed - GoFuckYourself.com

DatingGameExpert · 08-19-2011, 10:05 AM

So I have a very big twitter at the moment (over 100,000 followers) and I get a lot of "haters". Some girl was going mental at me so I posted her pic on Yfrog and asked the followers if "this looks like the kind of girl who takes massive amounts of dick". I then deleted it 5 mins later.

This girl is now going ape shit about it, saying she has a screenshot and is going to have my account pulled for using her pic without permission.

Does anyone here know the deal with Twitters TOS? I looked into it a bit and found that "bullying" is not something they personally handle and they cannot be held responsible for media posted on third party sites (such as Yfrog or Twitpic).

Anyone here know if I should be worried? The tweet was deleted literally 5 mins after I tweeted it.

you can always revert back to myspace

baddog · 08-19-2011, 10:31 AM

What does it matter? If you were concerned you would have asked prior to the fact, not after.

fm1234 · 08-19-2011, 10:35 AM

^^^^^what they said. If you're going to pull a dick move, don't pull a stupid dick move -- make sure your bases are covered in advance.

signupdamnit · 08-19-2011, 10:36 AM

Yes you should be worried. The act itself was very stupid but combine that with your ties to the adult industry and this makes it even worse. It was a dumb thing to do. I hope you at least apologized.

vsex · 08-19-2011, 10:42 AM

wow, asking on GFY if something you did on Twitter blah blah blah

This thread is definitely scrapping the bottom of the forum barrel. We need more "would you tap this?" threads to bring this place back to it's glory days!

According to their terms you can't necessarily have your account suspended over this, especially since it involves a 3rd party site they don't own. Her complaints over her picture being posted without consent is another issue, however she would have to pursue it and that's not always an affordable thing to do.

JamesGw · 08-19-2011, 10:43 AM

Well. Now there's only one thing you can do . . .

Doubt it really. Tweet was deleted after 5 mins, no proof but a screenshot. They have nothing.

RebelR · 08-19-2011, 01:07 PM

says this in the fine print in their TOS

"You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to Content that might be offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate, or in some cases, postings that have been mislabeled or are otherwise deceptive. Under no circumstances will Twitter be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Services or broadcast elsewhere"

You have to look at the twitter TOS to see if it address your specific issue. We have written to twitter before and they have pulled accounts that were impersonating etc

It's growing by 2k+ a day, these are real people. Okay maybe 5% are bots, but that is just Twitter for you.

That has to be the most bullshit comment made in many years. That is saying something.

I don't keep count. All I know is: 100k follow me and my timeline is a constant stream of feedback that rarely stops for more than 10 seconds.

like Twitter doesn't have it archived?

Jon Oso · 08-20-2011, 03:22 AM

You're gonna get sued, dude.

Best bet so they don't take everything you have, transfer all of your assets to my name. I'll give them back when the suit is over. Act now, this offer won't last long.

seeandsee · 08-20-2011, 03:24 AM

date her, fuck and make her not bully you

alias · 08-20-2011, 03:25 AM

You got backtraced. Consequences will never be the same.

Start a religion and come up with your own TOS... takes care of everything and you get way more followers.
