Here’s how you can share sensitive content on Twitter without getting yourself in too much trouble

Twitter Support announced that they’ve now added an option for “one-time sensitive warnings” to your tweets before you share them online. The feature is now available on iOS, Android, and web.

In December 2020, Twitter announced that they were testing the feature for a select few before releasing it for all users. The feature also only is available for photos and videos—not for worded tweets.

To find the feature, attach an image or a video in a tweet. Press on the paintbrush icon on the bottom right of the image/video to “edit photo”, and then press the flag icon at the bottom right. You’d then be able to see the content warning page, where you can choose to warn other users of “nudity”, “violence”, or “sensitive” content. Do excuse me for using a photo of my cat as an example of an image—I’m only using her as an example, yeah?

You can also tag multiple warnings for each attachment, and Twitter will place a single warning over multiple media in a single post. The feature is meant to give users a way to share content that “may be upsetting or not appropriate for everyone”, and content with warnings will be hidden and blurred unless you click on “Show”.

However, I have already started to notice a problem. Users have been using the content warnings as a way to dramatically show off memes. You’ll see a blurred-out image with content warnings, but once you press “Show”, it will just be a silly little meme. You can see it popping up everywhere on Twitter—including in the reply section of Twitter Support’s tweet.

Still, the feature might be made for the many tweets regarding Ukraine and Russia’s conflict—which might be violent or distressing. So far, the reactions of Twitter users for this feature have mostly been positive, as they hope it would be “widely adopted”. But let me know what you think of the feature.
