You're probably well ahead of me here, but this sensitive material is?

Good grief.

So this is presumably Twitter taking a leaf out of the book of January's incoming 'opt-out' censorship of porn, alcohol and tobacco related stuff and "esoteric material" then. Am I concerned the ISP block is going to cover not just tobacco and alcohol selling websites but also anti nanny state blogs? Think of the children! They must be barred from any chance of incorrect political views.

Not worried. Just read the latest (annual?) report that alcohol is good for you.

This is a settings issue. That warning appears only because Andy Bolton has the "Mark media I tweet as containing material that may be sensitive" setting box checked. All images he tweets will carry that warning.



Furthermore, to see the warning, you need to have your "Do not inform me before showing media that may be sensitive" setting box unchecked (or not be logged into Twitter when viewing the tweet).

Sadly this type of info appeals to the 14-59 age group twittering
mutant generation,besotted by digital mania,divorced from reality,
life style of 80 year olds,sat on cheap sofas,glued to dramas drowning in voyeurism,period pains,premature ejaculation ,Dr Who spasms and
scantily dressed dancing tarts. "MMMMMMMM Nice".
We have no need to worry about this sceptered Isle,this England,it's pastures and rolling hills ,it's slow flowing rivers nor need we weep
over the pleasant hamlets,what few remain
No tis time to pray for the silent many who shrug off the legacy of
the freedom fought for and died for ,by our glorious dead.
They bled for our way of life,our liberty our freedom, now ejected by
a generation of electronic mice.
Amen
