California: Over the weekend X (formerly Twitter) changed its terms of service to formally allow users to post adult content. Prior to the rule change, the platform had an unofficial policy that allowed users to upload such content, but it was neither allowed nor banned, operating in a gray area. Now, X users will be able to freely post NSFW content, so long as it was made consensually.
“We believe in the autonomy of adults to engage with and create content that reflects their own beliefs, desires, and experiences, including those related to sexuality,” X’s updated guidelines state.
Anyone who posts adult content will have to label it as such on their account to ensure X’s filters place a warning in front of it. X’s new guidelines extend to AI-generated nude content.
“The new rules also cover AI-generated videos and images,” said the X platform. Reports surfaced recently that X is testing a tool that lets users create or join communities focused on adult content.
Last year, the Indian government sent notice to X, along with other platforms, to remove pornographic and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) present on their platform.
