Twitter censors user's tweet featuring #AdultHumanFemale: A Twitter user shared a screenshot of another user's censorship notice. The censored user tweeted "Women Will Speak. #AdultHumanFemale." The tweet included a link to a music video of the song Rise Up by Andra Day. This video was inspirational and emotional, featuring a woman caring for her quadriplegic husband, and did not feature any "nudity, sexual content, violence, gore, or hateful symbols." Despite this, Twitter placed a sensitive content filter over the tweet, claiming that it "might have sensitive content" the met one of the categories listed. 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 Twitter, 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.
