I don't use Twitter but apparently the men's and women's basketball twitter accounts were shutdown. Here is miniums article on what happened.

DMCA enforcement is omnipresent and ruthless. I respect the need to protect rightholders' ownership of their works but there has to be a better way to regulate it, particularly given how many billions of social-media accounts can easily run afoul of it, accidentally or not.

Being a very inactive SM user myself I confess to not knowing much about this, but is there a procedure at Twitter with regards to copyright infringement offenses? I know YouTube has a strike system where you get warned, then suspended, and ultimately banned. Does Twitter? Because either a) ODU's Twitter offended repeatedly despite warnings and softer punishments, or b) Twitter's system is "one strike and you're out". At the very least you'd think there'd be a grace period to get your account into compliance (pretty sure at least on first offense with YouTube you're given time to edit or remove the offending video).

Good news that they're hiring a SM person. Social media is an important enough of a marketing/advertising vehicle that at this point all but the smallest D1 schools should have a dedicated employee to create and update content. If they had one five years ago, there's a good chance they know enough to avoid this mess in the first place.

I'm shocked we didn't have one already to be honest. My wife manages businesses social media accounts. She does ghost posting and photography/imagery for them and helps them grow their brand.

And the larger companies and orgs often have employees dedicated to types of social media (video, text) or even specific networks. Ideally you don't have the same person working on your LinkedIn and TikTok accounts, but better to have that than to have said person doing both while also handling press releases and broadcast advertising. So a good, if overdue, first step.
