Twitter provides two ways to filter sensitive content. The first way is to enable the “Sensitive Content” filter in the settings. To do this, click on the three horizontal lines on the top left corner of the screen, click on “Settings and privacy,” click on “Privacy and safety,” and then toggle on “Display media that may contain sensitive content.” The filter will apply to all users.
