X adds a sensitive content filter to user's post:  Features editor for Check Your Fact Elias Atienza posted on his X account a link to an article that he wrote, saying "My newest for @Check_Your_Fact: Never Back Down, the Super PAC supporting Ron DeSantis, claimed Nikki Haley supported allowing refugees from Gaza to come to the U.S. This is false. More here:" X placed a sensitive content filter over the post. Such filters do not allow users on the mobile app who have the sensitive filter enabled on their profile, the default setting, to view the filtered content at all. On the web version of X, the users must click through the sensitive content interstitial in order to view the filtered content. Not only do such filters give the impression of inappropriate content, similar filters have been shown to reduce user interaction with content.
