How To Turn Off Sensitive Content on Twitter
Scrolling through Twitter, you’ve probably noticed a small number of tweets you couldn’t view because Twitter had marked them as “potentially sensitive content.”
You’ve seen this message because Twitter has something called media settings that help Twitter to understand the type of media you are sharing. When sensitive Twitter content is shared, Twitter will immediately take steps to limit this content from being viewed by users who have not consented to view sensitive content on Twitter.
What is “Sensitive Content” on Twitter?
Sensitive content on Twitter includes any posts that feature violent content, hateful content or adult content. Any Twitter content that users could find distressing or offensive will require users’ consent before they can view it. By default, Twitter restricts access to sensitive content, and you have to opt-in to view it.
You can view Twitter sensitive content by changing the settings within your Twitter account. We’ve included a step-by-step guide within this article for how to do this.
