Twitter on Friday said the microblogging website had removed Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s display picture from his official handle and locked his account due to an “inadvertent error”, ANI reported.
This came a day after Shah’s profile photo was removed by the social media website in response to an unspecified “report from the copyright holder”. On Thursday, when users clicked on the senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader’s picture on his verified account, they were redirected to a blank page with the message: “Media not displayed. This image has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder.”
Although the photograph was reinstated after some time, Twitter had not shared other details about the action. The company’s copyright policy states: “In general, the photographer and NOT the subject of a photograph is the actual rights holder of the resulting photograph.”
Due to an inadvertent error, we temporarily locked this account under our global copyright policies. This decision was reversed immediately and the account is fully functional: Twitter Spokesperson on Home Minister Amit Shah's account being temporarily locked yesterday evening https://t.co/KVPkyo2Lic
