Twitter is getting its house in order as it rollout some safety measures to prevent underage users to consume or view inappropriate content.
In the past few days, the social media platform has been asking users to enter their birthdates to see the content on specific tweets. According to the company, the move is part of its user safety efforts.
“We’re constantly iterating on our work to give people more choice and control over their experience, as well as to make Twitter safer for everyone,” said the company spokesperson.
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.”
The social media platform is under pressure to deal with cyberbullying and under age users consuming their content.
It’s unlikely for Twitter to win the battle with underage users because many people lie about their age to join the platform.
