SAN FRANCISCO—A local grassroots movement has assembled to address Twitter’s policy of posting a single, one-size-fits-all warning message before allowing a user to opt into viewing a tweet containing explicit images. The message, according to movement members, informs visitors that the content is sensitive, but “without any indication of what it is or if you’ll even like it [sic].”
“When you try and decipher what the picture is based on that blurry thumbnail they show, it’s impossible,” said onanist Nigel Ainsley. “It would help if they included a smiley face or frowny face or something, so at least we know when we’re in the ballpark.”
“We prefer to have an idea before we click that the sensitive content is, like, ‘sensitive content’,” explained movement leader Albert Hull with a thumbs up and a wink.
“As opposed to ‘sensitive content’,” he added, shuddering.
The 43-year-old organizer has so far struggled to establish communication with Twitter personnel in his advocacy for change. “It seems like all the contacts we had at Twitter work at a place called ‘X’ now,” Hull told reporters.
