X is testing NSFW adult communities, according to screenshots
TechCrunch
·
1y ago
Medial
Twitter, now known as X, is reportedly working on a new feature called NSFW Communities that would allow users to create groups for explicit content. This feature was discovered by app researchers who shared screenshots with TechCrunch. While X already has a lenient policy on adult content, this new feature could provide a more direct way for adult creators to reach their audience. However, it is unclear if the feature will actually be implemented, as previous potential features for monetizing adult content on X have not come to fruition. X has recently been working on addressing issues related to child sexual exploitation on the platform.

The Senate hearing on child exploitation and social media focused heavily on Mark Zuckerberg and Shou Zi Chew, while X CEO Linda Yaccarino managed to avoid tough questioning. Zuckerberg faced the most scrutiny, especially regarding his alleged ignorance of an email concerning teen well-being. Yaccarino stated that less than 1% of X users in the US are under 18, but it remains unclear how X tracks user ages. Although X has more adult users, it doesn't mean that teens hardly use the platform. Yaccarino also addressed concerns about X's investment in trust and safety teams. Despite avoiding embarrassment at the hearing, X still faces challenges with handling child exploitation material.
