What is Sensitive Content?
On Twitter, a wide range of content is shared through tweets, images, videos, and live streams, including content related to children, memes, official information, as well as violent or adult content. Twitter has specific guidelines in place to distinguish potentially sensitive content from other content. Twitter defines sensitive content as content that some users may prefer not to see, such as nudity or violence.
