Adult content on X?

According to a report by Tech Crunch, Musk-owned X has updated its rules to formally allow its users to post adult and graphic content.

X defines adult content as “any consensually produced and distributed material depicting adult nudity or sexual behavior that is pornographic or intended to cause sexual arousal.”

This also applies to AI-generated, photographic, or animated content such as cartoons, hentai, or anime, it added.

Users posting such content were asked to adjust their media settings.

X said this will place all a user’s images and videos behind a content warning that needs to be acknowledged before the media can be viewed.

Users can also add a one-time content warning on individual posts.

If you continue to fail to mark your posts, we will adjust your account settings for you, X said.

The social media company said users under 18 or viewers who do not include a birth date on their profile cannot click to view marked content.

You may begin to see new media content warnings on posts that X has designated as containing Adult Content (instead of a generic sensitive media label). When these new content warnings are available for you to use, please be sure to continue marking your media accordingly, X said.
