How To Report Sensitive Media On Twitter
Twitter allows users to report Tweets that include 'sensitive media' depicting violent, hateful, and adult content. Once this media is flagged, the company's moderators manually scrutinize the content before deciding on a future course of action. Twitter says that the policy is meant to protect users who don't want to be exposed to sensitive content, without preventing others from sharing this type of media on the platform.
Twitter groups sensitive content into various categories, and while some are banned outright, others are allowed, but only with a 'potentially sensitive content' label. The company has relatively more permissive policies than other social media sites like Facebook, but it still has restrictions on what can and can't be posted. The banned categories include "excessively gory" media, "media depicting sexual violence," and all forms of illegal content.
