Elon Musk's X Implements Opt-In Porn Policy, Sparks User Backlash

TL;DR Summary
X, formerly known as Twitter, has implemented a new policy requiring users to opt-in to view pornographic and violent content, blocking such material for users under 18 or those without a birthdate on their profile. This move comes amid increasing regulatory pressure to protect minors from inappropriate content. The platform will automatically adjust account settings if users fail to mark adult content appropriately. The policy aligns with app store guidelines and addresses ongoing legal issues related to violent content.
