Twitter seems disorganized since the takeover of the platform by Elon Musk.
And some take advantage of it.
The system allowing the social network to remove content violating the conditions of use including copyright infringement no longer seemed operational this Sunday.
Thus, entire films were published in the form of multiple tweets containing videos of a maximum of two minutes, the limit imposed by Twitter, reports Phonandroid.
On Sunday,
The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift
was released as a thread of 50 tweets with two minutes of video, Forbes reports.
If the account was deleted, it owes it to its popularity.
As the journalist from the American magazine indicates, the account was deleted manually and not by the copyright protection system.

Some movies online all day
Other movies were released like
Hackers
(1995) or the movie
Avatar
.
An episode of
SpongeBob
also slipped through the system.
If some films remained online for a short time, becoming too viral, others remained accessible for several hours, even an entire day, such as
Need for Speed
and the Japanese superhero film
Kamen Rider Heisei
, Mashable was surprised.
Sharing movies violates the platform's rules of use.
"We reserve the right to remove any content that violates the user agreement, because it would - for example - constitute copyright infringement," reads Twitter's terms of service.
Layoffs detrimental to the proper functioning of Twitter?
According to Mashable and other media, this bug preventing the platform from sanctioning accounts broadcasting copyrighted videos comes from the new policy put in place by Elon Musk since the takeover.
The many departures and dismissals that have appeared in recent weeks have ended up destabilizing the functioning of Twitter.
To make matters worse, some even noticed that the Twitter algorithm had encouraged them to go to threads containing films, reports BFMTV.
The social network would therefore have promoted tweets going against its own rules of use.
