Although Elon Musk's X now formally permits pornographic content, it promises to prevent users under the age of 18 or those who have not given their consent from seeing violent and adult content.

Elon Musk’s X now "officially" allows adult content after update in policies

Social media company X, formerly Twitter, might be carving out a dedicated space for adult content or “not safe for work” material, a Bloomberg report has claimed. The users will be able to create a community within the app, which must clearly lay out that it “contains adult-sensitive content.” Such groups/communities shall also carry an “adult” label. Those adult groups without the label may face a complete ban or other actions by administrators, according to media reports.

According to the rules, the ‘adult’ communities must require age verification for a new member to join. Currently, X’s policies restrict “graphic media, adult nudity, and sexual behavior for viewers who are under 18 or viewers who do not include a birth date on their profile.”

<h2>Purpose of the table</h2>

According to an engineer at X, the purpose of the new label would be to make communities safer for everyone. “The purpose of the new label is about making communities safer for everyone” and “only users who have specified their age will be able to search communities with NSFW content,” said Dong Wook Chung.

This step by US billionaire Elon Musk-led company aims to differentiate itself from traditional social media companies where posting adult content often attracts intense scrutiny and account removal.

Musk, who has been pushing to turn X into an ‘everything app’, is taking his vow to the next level. He wants X to host practically any non-illegal content.

<h2>Not first time</h2>

Interestingly, it’s not the first time that Twitter has thought about hosting legal adult content on its platform. In 2022, long before it was acquired by Elon Musk, there were rumours about executives at Twitter&nbsp;exploring the idea of developing an OnlyFans-style subscription service for adult content creators.

Twitter dropped the plan over management and regulatory issues as they were not prepared to monitor "harmful sexual content," including child porn.

<h2>Concerns</h2>

The step by X comes at a time when US lawmakers have expressed great concerns over exposing teens and young users of social media platforms to adult content.

In this regard, chief executive officers of several social networks including X’s Linda Yaccarino also appeared in a US Senate hearing.
