Musk adjusted the rules, and social platform X officially allowed the release of adult content

On June 9, IT Home reported that the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) updated its community guide last month, officially allowing users to share "adult nudity or sexual behavior produced and released with consent". According to the new regulations, relevant content must be marked and must not be displayed in prominent places (such as personal data pictures or banners).

IT Home noticed that after the release of the new rules, the Safety account of the X platform released a tweet saying: "We have launched adult content and violent content policies to more clearly explain our rules and improve the transparency of implementation in these areas. These policies have replaced our previous sensitive media and violent speech policies, but our implementation standards have not changed."

In fact, the X platform did not explicitly prohibit pornographic content in the past. Since the launch of Twitter Blue (now X Premium) service, some NSFW (Not Safe For Work, not suitable for workplace browsing) creators have taken X as their home and encouraged fans to pay to watch their content. This mode is similar to OnlyFans. In Elon? After Musk took over, the advertising sales of X platform declined, and NSFW content may become one of X's new revenue sources.

According to the new regulations, the X platform requires users who "frequently publish" NSFW content to adjust their settings and mark their published pictures and videos as sensitive content. In addition, X's rules apply to all types of adult content, including AI generated, photo and animated content. By default, users who are under 18 years old or whose birth date is not filled in cannot view NSFW content. The new regulations also prohibit any content that "publicizes exploitation, unauthorized, materialized, sexualized or harm to minors and indecent acts".

In March this year, the X platform announced that it would allow the NSFW community to apply for "adult content" tags to prevent posts from being automatically filtered. The platform also said that it would start to hide likes on personal data, so as to prevent users from being exposed because of likes or other objectionable content.

Although the terms of service have been updated, it is easier said than done to crack down on violators. In 2022, Team X has taken this into consideration when exploring the monetization of adult content. In January this year, a large number of Taylor? The explicit picture generated by Swift's AI failed to stop its spread in time.
