Popular micro-blogging site X (Twitter) has recently updated its policy to allow users to post adult content.
The platform has launched the Adult Content and Violent Content Policy, replacing the previous Sensitive Media and Violent Speech Policy.
These new rules officially permit users to share adult and graphic content, subject to certain conditions. Here’s everything you need to know about this new policy.
New Policy Details
The official X Safety account announced that the new Adult Content and Violent Content Policies aim to provide more clarity and transparency in the enforcement of the platform’s rules.
This change marks a significant shift from the previous guidelines on sensitive media and violent speech, allowing for the posting of adult content with consent.
Inclusion of AI-Generated Content
Additionally, the updated policy includes provisions for AI-generated videos and photos. X has a long history of active NSFW (Not Safe for Work) communities, and the new policy formalizes the allowance of adult content on the platform.
This move aligns with X’s stance that users should have the freedom to create, share, and consume sexually explicit content.
According to X’s page, the company views sexual expression, whether visual or written, as a valid form of creative expression.
Elon Musk’s Role
Elon Musk, the owner of X, has previously experimented with allowing NSFW communities to post adult content.
This formal policy change reflects X’s commitment to supporting diverse forms of creative expression while ensuring clarity and transparency in its rules.
