It remains to be seen if this DMCA will be frequently used by people miffed that their jokes are traversing twitter, though Techcrunch found such an example. It’s more likely that photographers and copyright owners usch as Universal have a blunt tool to get those bots to stop mislabeling their photos, or Planned Parenthood to stop using their children’s film gif in their snarky tweets. Either way it’s a step in the right direction and about time that Twitter matured to this point, and if the policy has expanded to include 140 char jokes now, lots of twitter-Comedians are probably very happy about that.
