Speaking of Facebook, here's the profile of someone who says their name is Matinelli Ayomikun -- does the picture look familiar? I reported this account and Facebook told me it doesn't go against their community standardspic.twitter.com/HOH2GY1L8P

Oh and incidentally, Twitter only accepts impersonation reports from people using the name on their ID!
i had a super fun experience where a porn account was using my image as its profile picture, and forced twitter to explain to me, at least six times, why that was ok according to their rules. (Which it was! And which they defended repeatedly!)

So what was their rationale — that just stealing someone else's photo isn't a problem because they aren't using the same name?

Pretty much!

oh wow, so it doesn't violate the rules? a friend who does sex work had her image used by someone else and got a different answer (that they couldn't process her complaint because she wasn't using her "real name")

I had a handful of angry emails to them asking for more explanation at the time, and the only reply I ever got beyond "this does not violate our policies" was one explaining that the account using my pic was neither misleading nor deceptive.pic.twitter.com/bHAZ5tmsAe
