considered “severely injured or mutilated animals” as graphic content, which is not allowed on Twitter at all.
“We recognize that some people may not want to be exposed to sensitive content, which is why we balance allowing people to share this type of media with helping people who want to avoid it to do so,” the company’s policy reads.
“We don’t allow images of dead animals or blood in profile photos because we are unable to label them as NSFW and keep them from being seen by users who specifically don’t want to see graphic images,” Irwin said in the email.the Daines issue in a tweet on Tuesday and said he would change the policy. Only photos clearly showing blood would be banned, Musk decreed.
“This is being fixed. Policy against showing blood in profile pic is being amended to ‘clearly showing blood without clicking on the profile pic’,” Musk tweeted. “The intent is to avoid people being forced to see gruesome profile pics.”Under this changed policy, Daines’ profile pic is not in violation of Twitter’s rules. The blood on the antelope, which was not that obvious to begin with, can’t be discerned if you’re just scrolling through Twitter.
