Twitter freezes Khawula’s account for violating privacy rules

Controversial blogger Musawenkosi “Musa” Khawula’s Twitter account has been suspended after he violated the social media app’s privacy regulations.

Khawula, who is widely known as the celebrity basher, shared a nude video of seasoned radio presenter Sikhululo Maliwa, popularly known by his stage name Lulo Cafe. In the explicit video, Lulo Cafe can be seen drying his naked body.

Twitter has a non-consensual nudity policy that is against posting or sharing of intimate photos or videos of someone that were produced or distributed without their consent. Sharing explicit sexual images or videos of someone online without their consent is a severe violation of Twitter’s privacy regulations.

If found on wrong side of the fence, Twitter can immediately and permanently suspend an account identified as the original poster of intimate media.

Khawula’s actions can also be seen as revenge porn – sexually explicit images or videos of a person posted online without their consent in a form of revenge or harassment – and can land one in jail.

Social media users, who are now celebrating after Khawula’s account was frozen, posted and reported his account, which led to it being suspended.
