Twitter Will Now Withhold, Not Delete, Copyright-Infringing Tweets
Twitter has updated its copyright policy to allow for increased transparency when dealing with controversial and legally-ambiguous tweets.

GigaOm first noticed Twitter’s updated copyright policy, discovering a reference to it in a tweet sent by a member of its legal team:
We now offer more #transparency
