There are a few ways to unlock sensitive content on Twitter, giving you unbridled access to see the dark underbelly of modern society.

Therefore, if you wish to unlock such sensitive content on Twitter and see them, read this post till the end.

What Is Sensitive Content On Twitter?

Sensitive content on Twitter can often be offensive

Before we get to learning how to see sensitive content on Twitter, first, let’s understand what sensitive content actually is.

Sensitive content – also known as NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content – refers to content that is unacceptable to the public. Such content is classified as NSFW because it carries an offensive and disturbing message with them.

For example, violent videos of torture (both humans and animals), highly sexualized content with loads of nudity, hate speeches with lots of abusive slang, etc. – are all classified as NSFW content.

Twitter (now X) has lots of policies regarding such content being posted on their platform. If they do identify your post as containing NSFW content, they will do two things:

  • They delete tweets in bulk and leave you with a warning regarding how your post is against their policies and guidelines.
  • They show your post, but it will be initially hidden to all. If an adult (18 years older) tries to see it, they will be warned first.

To further stop NSFW content on Twitter, users can also report your offensive posts. If a few reports get filed, your post will get deleted, and you may be left with a warning. To do so again, your account might get Twitter suspended!

How Does Twitter Identify Sensitive Content?

Twitter used to identify NSFW content with the help of their super orthodox and stringent content moderation team. However, after Elon Musk realized they were moderating with a lot of bias, they drastically reduced the team in 2022.

Now, Elon and the newly remodeled Twitter AI have taken over the algorithm. This AI uses machine learning to identify sensitive content and mark it as such.

In addition, user reports are still active. If you find any content to be sensitive and offensive, you may report the post. Twitter’s limited moderation team and AI will check your report and respond accordingly.

How To Report Sensitive Content On Twitter?

X is a place where it takes just one post (or comment) to offend you and start an internet war. This is the place where young men “simped” for Nico over a viral video, starting a war against her haters. Wherever you go, a Twitter war is always brewing. 

Therefore, you should be a sensible samaritan to prevent any more virtual casualties. Even though you just learned to see sensitive content on Twitter, you must also report it.

So do you see a post that is a bit too sensitive? Fear it may start another pointless virtual Twitter war? You have the power to prevent it from happening. Follow the steps below to learn how to do it.

  1. First, find a post in X that you deem to be sensitive.
  2. Next, click on the options icon (three horizontal dots).
  3. Then, click on the Report Post option.
  4. Next, select the “It displays a sensitive image” option.

That’s it! Now, it’s up to the content moderators of X to review your report. If it deems the post you reported has sensitive content, it will get flagged as such.

If you want, you can even suspend the user’s Twitter account by forcing multiple reports. Therefore, you should learn how to buy Twitter followers!

Can You Mark Your Own Content As Sensitive On Twitter?

Yes, you can be a good samaritan

As a lover of dark humor, I often find myself guilty of posting offensive memes and images on X. However, the good samaritan side of me wishes to give viewers a warning before seeing such posts. 

Therefore, you can flag your own posts as sensitive posts. So whenever someone sees your posts, they will be greeted with the “this tweet might include sensitive content” warning. Whether they wish to see still it is up to them. If they complain, you can tell them, “I told you so!”

Therefore, here’s what you need to do to mark your own X post as a sensitive post. However, remember that you can only do so when you are editing the post, not after posting it.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Open your X post editor.

Open your X post editor.

2. Click on the image icon below and upload a super-sensitive and offensive meme.

Final Words
