X Updates Policies to Allow AI-Generated Adult Content with Proper Labeling

Jun 3, 2024, 05:39 PM

Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has updated its policies to formally allow consensually-produced adult content, including AI-generated media. The new rules require that such content be properly labeled and not prominently displayed, and it is not allowed in profile pictures and headers. This policy change aligns with previous experiments under Elon Musk's leadership and is seen as a move that could lead to new services similar to OnlyFans. The updated guidelines also replace the former Sensitive Media and Violent Speech policies with new Adult Content and Violent Content policies to bring more clarity and transparency in enforcement. Notably, users as young as 13 are allowed on the platform.
