After Twitter removes Amit Shah’s display picture citing copyright violation, restored later

New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s Twitter display picture removed by the microblogging site on Thursday, in response to a “report from the copyright holder.”

Clicking on Shah’s Display Picture on his verified handle showed a blank page with the message: “Media not displayed. This image has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder.”

The image was restored after a while. There were no other details available from Twitter.

Twitter’s copyright policy st ates:”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
