THE INTERNET. (THECOUNT) — Did Twitter just ban the posting of Memes? According to the social media platform, they have in-fact banned “media of private individuals without the permission of the person(s) depicted.”

Here are a few reactions from Twitter users:
No word on how Twitter plans to address past offending memes, which surly numbers into the billions.
