Since Elon Musk took the reins of Twitter, now renamed X, a worrying trend has been unleashed: the publication of complete movies without authorization and with copyright on this social network. The lack of moderation and content control has turned X into a practically unrestricted space, reminiscent of the days of Series.ly.
Perspective Writing
One of the most recent examples of this problem is the publication of the movie “Barbie”, one of this year’s big releases, in its entirety on X. This content has accumulated millions of views in a matter of hours, which demonstrates the scope of this practice.
What is even more disturbing is that Copyright.
Despite the existence of strict legislation to combat the illegal distribution of copyrighted content, publications on X appear to enjoy impunity. The platform’s lack of immediate action, possibly due to staff shortages or the philosophy of freedom that Elon Musk seeks to promote on X, allows these films to remain available to the public. The only observable response so far has been the subsequent deletion of some of these posts, probably due to user reports of them going viral. However, other accounts that publish films with less impact continue to operate with impunity.
This situation contrasts with other platforms such as YouTube or Twitch, which apply strict copyright control and automatically block protected content before publication. In X, the absence of a copyrighted content detection algorithm allows movies like “Barbie” to spread without restrictions.
The situation raises important questions about X’s responsibility in protecting copyright and the need to implement more effective measures to prevent the illegal distribution of protected content on the platform.
