It is no secret that Elon Musk has made a series of controversial decisions related to Twitter in recent years. However, the most recent change is positioned to be one that will divide the community at large, since the social network will allow adult content.
Through a new statement, it has been confirmed that Twitter already allows explicit content for adults, something that was prohibited for a long time, but a couple of months ago it began to resurface little by little. In this way, it will allow users to “share nudity or adult sexual behavior produced and distributed consensually”. Although this material can be shared as if it were just another image or video, it has been made clear that it is not permitted to display these acts in profile photos or banners.
To avoid as many problems as possible, Twitter advises that users adjust their media settings to activate warnings for this content. This is what was said about it:
“We believe that users should be able to create, distribute and consume material related to sexual themes, as long as it is produced and distributed consensually. Sexual expression, whether visual or written, can be a legitimate form of artistic expression. We believe in the autonomy of adults to interact and create content that reflects their own beliefs, desires and experiences, including those related to sexuality.”
This move is something that has been expected for months. Last March, an increase in profiles specialized in adult material and people related to this industry was reported. To prevent these accounts from being blocked, since most pay to have the blue verificationthere was speculation that Twitter was going to do everything it could to allow this content.
Well, this is already a reality, and it suggests that Elon Musk’s company will do everything possible to allow content that makes them money, especially after the departure of multiple advertisers. On related topics, Twitter has been completely transformed into X. Likewise, the option to see Twitter Likes will be eliminated.
Author’s Note.
The inclusion of adult content is not new. However, it is striking that this was implemented once again when we saw an increase in blue verification users sharing this material. This suggests that the same could happen with not so positive trends.
