Anyone and anything can be found on the Twitter website, including those who regularly provide informative content, users who promote children’s content, and even users who share potentially sensitive material.
Twitter is a platform where there is room for everyone. Even if we compare Twitter’s media policy to Facebook (another social media giant), it’s safe to say that Twitter’s policy is significantly more lenient than most social media. Continue reading this article to learn how to turn off the Twitter sensitive content warning.
While some users would rather be warned about sensitive content when they see snarky tweets, others aren’t bothered by adult accounts appearing on their timelines.
What is considered “sensitive content”on Twitter?
Some people may consider the concept of “sensitive material”to be entirely subjective. At the same time, the majority may agree to a restriction in the case of a ban on sexual violence and illegal content.
According to Twitter’s media privacy policy, violent scenes and adult content are the two most common types that are considered “offensive content”.
However, this may not apply to other Twitter users who display sensitive material that may contain nudity or “potentially”sensitive information on their account, such as celebrities.
As a result, you can choose whether you want to view such NSFW tweets in the Tweets pane or in search results. Whatever you decide, remember that it is your decision.
