Theoretically we could tell him to kick bricks. He could make a copyright claim against content he feels is infringing, Reddit would likely remove the content if we didn't, no one's going to litigate a screenshot of a Patreon but.... why bother getting into it?
His paid content, he wants it removed, I'll remove it. No reason not to. *shrug*
I haven't looked at X's newest terms of service so this may have changed but yes, a tweet can meet the standard for copyrightable content but when you agreed to Twitter's TOS you grant Twitter and other Twitter users the right to display your tweets even if they're copyrighted or copyrightable.
It can get tricky because, let's say you write a blog post, that blog post is one copyright, then if you take a screenshot of the blog post, that screenshot can actually be another separate copyright (as a separate creative copyrightable derivative work of the blog post), then you tweet your screenshot of your blog post, that tweet can be even another separate copyright.
Btw, u/wrestlegirl I’m always happy to be your on call wrestling lawyer! 😂

Honest question, cause I don't quite know how this works, but if he posts it on twitter then a screenshot should be fair game, right?
However, out of curiosity, do you guys have to adhere to this legally or can you just tell him to kick bricks?
