As spotted by TechCrunch, X updated its guidelines to let users “share consensually produced and distributed adult nudity or sexual behavior” as long as it’s labeled and not in a prominent location, such as a profile picture or banner.
The platform will require users who “regularly post” NSFW content to adjust their settings to mark the images and videos they post as sensitive content. X’s rules apply to all adult content, whether AI-generated, photographic, or animated. By default, users who aren’t 18 or haven’t entered their birth date can’t view NSFW material. The new rules also ban content “promoting exploitation, nonconsent, objectification, sexualization or harm to minors, and obscene behaviors.”
