Twitter's copyright system seemingly broken as full-length movies are posted on platform

Users are posting entire movies on the platform with many yet to be taken down. There is a sign that the policy is not being enforced.

A user on the social networking site went crazy this weekend after posting the entire of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift in just two minutes. The media did not go down with the account for a while. There are two films that have been taken down, one of which was posted by others.

While the more notable movie threads have gone viral, some films like Need for Speed and a Japanese superhero film are still available to view on the internet. There is an episode of Spongebob Squarepants that was shared.

There are allegations of unauthorized use of a copyrighted image as a profile photo, allegations of unauthorized use of a copyrighted video or image uploaded through our media hosting services, and links to allegedly infringing materials, among others.

It should come as no surprise that the sharing of full movies is a violation of the policy. The platform seems to be running with a skeleton crew at the moment. If the site's automated copyright enforcement system can't be fixed, Musk's idea of introducing long, 40+ min videos for Twitter Blue subscribers may have to be put on hold.

As a result of the broken copyright system, more legal action can be taken on the site. There are a number of class action lawsuits and possible legal action from the FTC. Some episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation can be enjoyed by users before the social networking site goes down.
