What Happened
Twitter is working on filtering age-appropriate content to prevent underage users from viewing sensitive material. It’s asking users to enter their birthdates before viewing age-restricted material. The social media giant aims to stop users under the age of 18 from accessing inappropriate content, reported TechCrunch.“We’re slowly rolling out a feature to aid in restricting certain sensitive content from people who are under 18 years old or have not submitted their date of birth,” a Twitter spokesperson told TechCrunch.
