Twitter Updates Rules to Ban Unapproved 'Intimate Photos'

Twitter will change its rules to prohibit users from posting of "revenge porn" -- intimate, and possibly explicit, images or video posted publicly without consent -- to its social network. "You may not post intimate photos or videos that were taken or distributed without the subject's consent," says a new line in the company's list of community rules.
