Twitter (TWTR) suspended the Deadspin and SBNationGIF accounts after they shared videos and GIFS of sporting events.
The two accounts were suspended by Twitter on Monday afternoon, but the Deadspin account has been reactivated. The SBNationGIF account is still suspended as of Tuesday afternoon. The two accounts had several copyright claims filed against them, reports NBC News.
The NFL, Big 12 and SEC all filed take down notices against the two Twitter accounts for sharing content that didn’t legally belong to them. However, none of these claims requested that the accounts be suspended. There were also claims filed by the UFC. These claims requested that the social media company suspended the Deadspin and SBNationGIF accounts, NBC News notes.
“We are working with Twitter to resolve the issue and restore the account. All other SB Nation accounts are in good standing,” SBNation told The Verge. “We take copyright infringement issues seriously and always try to keep our use of unlicensed third party footage within the bounds of fair use.”
