Twitter Will Ban Revenge Porn and Non-consensual Nudes

AmiMoJo writes: Twitter has changed its rules to state it will forbid users from posting revenge porn and non-consensual nudes on its service. In the private information section of the site's policy list, the company added that users "may not post intimate photos or videos that were taken or distributed without the subject's consent." Twitter seemed to indicate that it would use some combination of automated and manual checks to decide whether a reported post is revenge porn or not before removing the post. "We will ask a reporting user to verify that he or she is the individual in question in content alleged to be violating our policy and to confirm that the photo or video in question was posted without consent." There will be an appeal process too.

In February, reddit made a similar rules change after the site was embroiled in controversy for allowing the posting of stolen nude celebrity photos in 2014. Banning "involuntary pornography," reddit urged victims to e-mail the site with details so administrators could remove the offending posts.

Another blow to free speech by the feminists

First reddit falls, and now twitter. The censorship brought on by the feminist menace has to be fought here and fought now, before the internet turns into some sort of PC "wimminspace".

So, what our options? Going on to TOR? I2P?

Chan's aren't an option, for obvious reasons -so post your suggestions in this thread.
