Twitter censors meme of Kyle Rittenhouse: A Twitter user posted a meme of Kyle Rittenhouse painting over graffiti with text overlay saying "In a world of George Floyds be a Kyle Rittenhouse." Twitter applied a sensitive content filter over the graphic. 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.
