[twitter-dev] What's Twitter policy regarding porn?

2010-04-23 Thread Dmitri Snytkine
Hello!

I have to know this: first off all, there are lots of tweets out there
that send links to porn images and stuff like that.
Is this allowed?

Second, if this is allowed, then can I develop an app that aggregates
such tweets (that have links to porn images?) as well as sending out
tweets that will include links to porn images?

The only thing I see is here:

 *Pornography: You may not use obscene or pornographic images in either 
your profile picture or user background.



So as long as it's not in either one of those areas I don't see a direct 
violation in the rules right now.

This is the correct interpretation of the rule surrounding porn, in addition
to all other Twitter rules regarding statuses, mentions, direct messages,
automation, etc. One such rule that would apply here is that you don't want
to surprise users -- porn links should be clearly marked as such.
