The social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk, has revised its guidelines to specifically allow adult content.
The website that was formerly known as Twitter and Now X allow adult content now to publish sexualized information as long as it is tagged and consensually shared, according to the updated criteria.
Users can create, share, and use content related to sexual topics if they voluntarily create and distribute it, according to the revised policy.
It states that ‘sexual performance, whether written or visual, can be a legitimate form of artistic expression.’
“We support the freedom of adults to interact with and create content that reflects their values, aspirations, life experiences, and sexuality.”
We have launched Adult Content and Violent Content policies to bring more clarity of our Rules and transparency into enforcement of these areas. These policies replace our former Sensitive Media and Violent Speech policies – but what we enforce against hasn’t changed.

According to the policy, users will not be permitted to share information that “promotes abuse, nonconsent, objectification, sexualization or harm to minors, and vulgar behaviors.” Children and adult users who opt not to see graphic content will only have access to limited amounts of it.
TechCrunch originally noted that Musk’s purchase of Twitter formalized a more accepting stance toward sexual content on the platform.
In contrast to social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, Twitter has never explicitly prohibited sexualized or nude content.
Musk lifted the moderation on X, allowing the restoration of banned accounts like those of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and former US President Donald Trump.
Musk has maintained that he is defending the right to free speech, but detractors have charged the CEO of Tesla of promoting false information and hate speech.
X already had a significant amount of adult content, with Reuters reporting nearly 13% of posts containing it. The platform has also seen a recent rise in porn bots.
