X officially permits AI-generated and consensual adult content

X, formerly known as Twitter, has updated its rules to formally allow users to post adult and graphic content, provided it is consensually produced and clearly labeled as NSFW (Not Safe For Work). The updated policy also permits the sharing of AI-generated videos and images under the same conditions. This change aligns with X's longstanding tradition of hosting adult content within NSFW communities and emphasizes the platform's support for adult autonomy in creating content that reflects personal beliefs, desires, and experiences related to sexuality.

While X allows adult content, it maintains a strict stance against material that threatens or glorifies violence. The platform's updated guidelines aim to balance freedom of expression with user protection, particularly for minors and those who opt not to view adult content. This decision is likely to draw scrutiny from regulators, especially regarding X's measures to combat non-consensual pornography and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Last year, the platform faced fines from Australia for not providing sufficient information about child abuse content.
