“The Flash” movie leaked on Twitter, gets 1.7 million views
DC's latest offering, The Flash, was leaked on Twitter and was available to download and stream. The movie opened in theatres on June 15.
Recent updates on Twitter have inadvertently facilitated the unauthorised sharing of movies among users. The platform’s expansion of video length has allowed leaked copies of an unauthorised version of Ezra Miller’s “The Flash” to the platform. Twitter now faces the consequences of these leaks as it grapples with unauthorized movie sharing on its platform. From the time, the platform allowed users to post 2-hour-long videos, the microblogging site has been utilised for leaking freshly released films.
According to reports, the leaked film remained on the platform for approximately 8 hours before being removed, and the associated account was subsequently suspended.
It is reported that the tweet containing the movie garnered around 1.7 million views before its removal. The individual behind the leak strategically chose a Sunday release, potentially to allow for a delayed response from authorities.
Reports have also suggested that the film, even though shot on camera, was available in good quality for download as well as streaming. A lot of Twitter users reacted to the leak. While some are thanking the user behind it all, others post hilarious memes about the incident.
The incident highlights growing concerns about piracy and the potential transformation of Twitter into a platform for unauthorised content sharing, resembling the trend seen on platforms like Telegram.
A couple of days back, Musk was speaking at the VivaTech conference held in Paris and said that he bought Twitter because it was having a ‘corrosive effect’ on society, and he wanted to improve that.
“My hope was to change that and have it be positive for civilization,” he said.
He also added that he believes that most of the platform’s regular users will say that their experience on the website has improved. In addition to this, Musk also expressed his confidence in Twitter’s new CEO, Linda Yaccarino’s ability to deal with advertisers. He also said that almost all ‘advertisers have said they have either come back, or they will come back’.
