Twitter Privacy Options that may Interest You:
Twitter, in comparison to Facebook is more flexible than the social media site. Twitter has a sensitive media policy that bans media depicting violence or “very graphic”, and almost all other content is prohibited.
Twitter restricts this media automatically, sending messages such as “This media could contain sensitive material,” or “This profile might include potentially sensitive information” and “The next media contains potentially sensitive content.”
To modify the option, you will need to create a Twitter account.
