Elon Musk has given an order authenticating the use of X-rated content on platform X provided it goes through the laid down guidelines and procedures.
Adult content and nudity has been present on Twitter for years before Musk takeover in 2022.
The new guidelines, first reported by Tech Crunch on Monday, explicitly permit users to share adult content “as long as it is consensually produced and distributed adult nudity or sexual behavior.”
X released updated guidelines over the weekend, stating that “sexual expression, visual or written, can be a legitimate form of artistic expression.”
Under the new policy, posting adult content is formally within the rules as long as it is labeled and not prominently displayed, such as in profile pictures or account banners.
According to the new released guidelines, accounts that regularly post adult content will be required to automatically mark their image and video posts as sensitive content.
Adult content will also be prohibited for users identified as children or adult users who choose not to view it.
The policy extends to AI-generated content, animations, cartoons, hentai and anime.
X’s safety team tweeted the new guidelines would “bring more clarity to our rules and transparency into enforcement of these areas.”
