The Most Reliable Parental Control App
FamiSafe lets parents control screen time, track real-time location and detect inappropriate content on kids' devices.
Twitter is a social media site where users share "tweets" of 140 characters or less. Twitter is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family or follow news and current events. You can also use Twitter to promote your business or blog. Twitter was founded in 2006 and has since become one of the most popular social media sites. It now has over 229 million active users, according to Statista.
Twitter users mainly consist of people who are in their 20s and 30s. However, whether kids use Twitter depends on their age group. According to Pew Research Center, 24% of online teens now use Twitter. Teenagers between 14-17 years use Twitter more than teens aged 12 to 13. That is likely because tweens are more active on other social media sites, such as Instagram and Snapchat.
While Twitter can be a great way to stay connected, it also has its fair share of problems. Like most social media sites, Twitter isn't immune to adult content. One of the most significant issues with Twitter is the amount of pornography shared on the site. Pornographic images and videos are easy to find on Twitter, even using filters or parental controls.
Twitter porn is becoming a huge issue, and parents need to be aware of it. Pornography is easily accessible on Twitter, and many kids find it while browsing the site, which can be highly damaging to their development and have long-term effects.
Here we will introduce Twitter's official rules and policies on inappropriate content, how kids find porn sites on Twitter, and what parents can do to protect kids from watching porn on Twitter.
Part 1: Twitter's Policy on Porn
Unlike aggressively moderated Facebook or Instagram, Twitter tries to find a balance between censorship and free speech. Unfortunately, this leads to an often reckless and potentially harmful environment for children. The company recognizes that users may be exposed to indecent material in its rules and policies—there is no way to get around it. However, to assist in reducing this exposure, Twitter "encourages" users to follow two well-intentioned but difficult-to-enforce guidelines:
"You may not post media that is excessively gory or share violent or adult content within a live video or in profile header, or List banner images. Media depicting sexual violence and/or assault is also not permitted." — This implies that inappropriate content, including pornography, may be found, but not in public spaces where someone might inadvertently see them. However, anyone looking for it will find it.
"You can share graphic violence and consensually produced adult content within your Tweets, provided that you mark this media as sensitive." — This implies that a warning for sensitive material is advised (not required). But, of course, there's no limit to how old someone may be—nothing is stopping them from going into an image and checking it out. Unless someone else flags sensitive content, Twitter won't tag it automatically. And it's only evident that people looking at such content won't report it.
Part 2: How to Find Porn on Twitter?
Finding porn on Twitter is easy. Typing 'porn' in the search bar will reveal hundreds of profiles, tweets, and links with pornographic material. But before that, check your search settings and unhide sensitive material if you want to find adult material or porn on Twitter; otherwise, you'll have difficulty finding it.
However, you can also find porn by using alternate spellings such as "p0rn", "seggs," or "anime porn." However, because of Twitter's lax criteria, they aren't frequently required. Kids may also discover Twitter porn from other social media platforms like Tik Tok. For example, if you search for #twitterporn on TikTok, you'll find many videos providing advice on locating it. You'll also find many videos where teens deliberately promote Twitter as the ideal platform for porn compared to traditional XXX sites like PornHub.
Part 3: Why Kids Use Twitter to Find Porn?
For most parents, Twitter isn't the first social media site that comes to mind when they think about a place to share pornography. Besides, Twitter wouldn't appear suspicious if a parent does a brief browser history check, making it an excellent platform for kids to look for porn. After all, Twitter is more commonly known as a celebrity gossip and breaking news site than a porn destination. That is why it isn't wildly popular with Gen Z, and consequently, parents don't usually worry about regulating screen time or creating web filters too much. Finally, children do not have to make a Twitter account or use the app to access its material; they may browse anonymously through a web browser.
Part 4: How to Report Porn on Twitter?
Twitter does not have a specific adult material reporting process. If you see something that you believe violates the Twitter Rules, you can report it using the "report tweet" button. It is located on every tweet. When you submit a report, Twitter will review the content and take action if it finds that it violates the rules. Twitter may also ask you for additional information to make a decision. The exact process applies to reporting a Twitter Space or person in a Space for porn, violent imagery, abuse, hateful conduct, violent threats, or hate speech. You can report it by using the "report space" button. If you are a victim of non-consensual intimate imagery, you can report it to Twitter by filling out a specific form. For more information on how to report different types of content, you can visit Twitter's reporting policy.
Part 5: How to Protect Kids from Watching Twitter Porn?
Twitter advises parents to use built-in safety features to protect their children from viewing inappropriate content on the platform. Twitter offers several ways to customize safety settings, including filtering out specific words and setting up a limited profile for your child that only allows preapproved followers. Additionally, parents can keep an eye on their child's Twitter activity by using parental controls. Twitter's safety features are constantly evolving, so parents must stay up-to-date on the latest ways to protect their children.
By following the steps above, you can help ensure that your child has a safe and positive experience on Twitter.
Tip 1. Discuss pornography with your child.
It's essential to discuss pornography with your child, especially given that sexual content may be found without them searching for it. In addition, it's crucial to convey your family's beliefs and perspectives on the subject. Also, don't forget to tell them that they can always come to you if they discover anything online that makes them uncomfortable.
Tip 2. Use Twitter's built-in safety features.
Twitter offers a safe search filtering option for all users, which will hide sensitive information (such as sexual content, graphic violence, and more). It's worth noting that kids can flip this function off without your approval.
Tip 3. Filter out specific words.
You can also add exact words to your child's filter list. To do this, go to your child's settings and click on the "Content preferences" option. You'll see a list of words that you can add to be filtered out.
Tip 4. Set up a limited profile.
A limited profile is a great way to protect younger children since it only allows approved followers to see their tweets. To set up a limited profile, go to your child's settings and click on the "Privacy and safety" option. From there, you can choose to make their account private or protect their tweets.
Tip 5. Keep an eye on their activity.
The best way to keep track of your child's Twitter activity is to follow them yourself. This way, you can see what they're tweeting about and who they're interacting with. You can also set up notifications to alert you whenever your child tweets or Retweets something.
Tip 6. Keep an eye on your child's Twitter activity using parental controls.
Twitter's safety features are constantly evolving, so parents need to stay up-to-date on the latest ways to protect their children. One way to do this is by using parental controls to monitor your child's activity on the platform. Go to your child's settings and click on the "Privacy and safety" option to set up parental controls. From there, you can choose to receive notifications whenever your child tweets or Retweets something. Additionally, you can also block specific accounts from viewing your child's tweets.
Tip 7. Stay up-to-date on the latest safety features from Twitter.
As mentioned before, Twitter's safety features are constantly evolving. One way to stay up-to-date on the latest changes is by following the Twitter Safety account. This account provides tips and resources on keeping your family safe online.
