>Twitter removes images posted without consent
推特:未经许可禁止分享个人影像

Twitter has updated its privacy policy so it can remove images of people that have been posted without their consent, the company said in a blog post. Under its current policy, the social media giant prohibits the publication of people's private information, including addresses, phone numbers, identity documents and medical records.
推特近日发布博文称，已经更新其隐私政策，可删除未经本人同意发布的人物图片。根据现行政策，推特禁止用户发布他人隐私信息，包括地址、电话号码、身份证件和医疗记录。

Now, it says it has added "private media" to the list, because the sharing of such material could be used to "harass, intimidate, and reveal the identities of individuals."
现在，推特称已经将"个人影像"加入隐私条款，因为分享这些信息可能被用来"骚扰、恐吓和揭露个人身份"。

Before removing the image or video, Twitter said, it would require a first-person report or a report from an authorized representative to establish whether or not the individual had consented to it being shared.
推特表示，在删除私人图像或视频之前，需要当事人举报或授权代表的举报，以确定该个人是否同意共享该图像或视频。

Once Twitter establishes the media had been shared without permission, it would then proceed to remove it from the platform, the company said.
推特表示，一旦平台确定个人影像的发布未经当事人许可，便会将其从平台上删除。

It added the policy changes do not apply when there is public interest at stake, or in an emergency situation.
推特补充道，这项新政策不适用于涉及公共利益的情况或紧急情况。

>Research posits chewing gum as COVID reducer
新型口香糖或减少新冠传播

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are working to create a special chewing gum that could help reduce the spread of COVID-19 by "trapping" the virus so a person can't transmit it to someone else.
宾夕法尼亚大学新冠病毒研究人员正在努力研制一种特殊口香糖，它可以通过"诱捕"新冠病毒阻止其感染他人，从而帮助抑制新冠疫情传播。

Experts agree vaccinations are the best way to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, but it's also known vaccinated people can still transmit the virus.
专家们认为接种疫苗是抗击新冠的最佳手段，但众所周知，已经接种疫苗的人仍能传播病毒。

The researchers are hoping their chewing gum will give people a low-cost way to further prevent COVID-19 from spreading.

The gum contains plant-grown ACE2 proteins, which showed in laboratory studies to have the capability to neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
口香糖含有植物产生的血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2)蛋白，实验室研究表明这种蛋白可以中和新冠病毒。

When researchers exposed saliva samples from COVID-19 patients to the modified chewing gum, they found the levels of viral RNA were "drastically reduced" to the point the virus was almost undetectable.
研究人员让新冠患者的唾液样本与ACE2蛋白口香糖接触，发现病毒RNA的含量"急剧下降"到几乎检测不到的程度。

The research is still in its early stages, and the researchers are working on getting permission to conduct a clinical trial in humans to determine if the gum is safe and effective.
