How to Unblock “This Tweet May Include Sensitive Content” on Twitter
Of all the popular social media platforms out there, Twitter stands unique. It’s a place where anyone can post anything without restrictions. However, Twitter does make an effort to moderate its content by displaying a warning message that says, “This tweet may include sensitive content.” Fortunately, as a user, you have the freedom to choose whether or not you want to view this content. In this article, we’ll guide you on how to unblock “This tweet may include sensitive content” on Twitter, so you can see all the tweets that come up on your timeline.
Understanding Sensitive Content on Twitter
When Twitter uses the term “sensitive content,” it refers to posts that contain violence or nudity. If you’re new to Twitter, depending on who you follow, you might mistakenly think that the platform is a porn website. Twitter allows people to post adult content and graphic images, including those with blood. However, Twitter does try to block such content to maintain a safe environment.
How to Unblock Sensitive Content on Twitter
By default, Twitter’s sensitive content filter is turned on. To control or unblock this feature, you can either log in to Twitter’s web version or use the Android app. Unfortunately, this feature cannot be turned off on the iPhone or iPad app. Here’s how you can unblock sensitive content:
- Login to Twitter on the web.
- Under the menu, click on “More.”
- Click on “Settings and privacy,” then “Privacy and safety.”
- Under this tab, you’ll find several options. Tick the one that says “Display media that may contain sensitive content.”
- Congratulations! You’ve successfully unblocked sensitive content on Twitter. You can now view any media that hasn’t been locked by the user.
How to Remove Sensitive Content Warning from Your Own Tweets
If you tweet media containing violence or nudity, Twitter may prevent your tweet from appearing on other people’s timelines. When users come across your tweet, it will be shown with the same sensitive content warning we discussed earlier. To remove this warning from your own tweets, follow these steps:
- Login to Twitter on the web.
- Under the menu, click on “More.”
- Click on “Settings and privacy,” then “Privacy and safety.”
- Under this tab, you’ll find several options. Untick the one that says “Mark media you tweet as containing material that may be sensitive.”
How to View Sensitive Content in Twitter Search
Twitter also filters its search results to prevent users from seeing nudity or violent content. However, if you want to view everything in your search results, you can disable this filter. Here’s how:
- Login to Twitter on the web.
- Under the menu, click on “More.”
- Click on “Settings and privacy,” then “Privacy and safety.”
- Scroll down to “Search filters.”
- Ensure that the “Hide sensitive content” box is unchecked.
As much as Twitter is an open platform that welcomes everyone, it’s important not to abuse it. Misusing the platform could lead to a potential ban or permanent loss of your account.
