Here’s what you can no longer say on Twitter

Twitter updated its policies

On Friday, Twitter added specific examples of “graphic violence” and “adult content” that would not be allowed on the site. 

Twitter's approach against vicious and sexual substance isn't fresh out of the plastic new, yet the organization's never been so straightforward about what it orders under each of these classes. The updates were shared via a blog post Friday.

For graphic violence, Twitter lists depictions of:

• The moment when someone dies
• gruesome crime or accident scenes
• torture, bodily harm, dismemberment, or mutilation

For adult content, Twitter shares:

• Nudity full or partial (close-ups of the genitals, buttocks, breasts or breasts
• simulating a sexual act
• intercourse or any sexual act (may involve humans, humanoid animals, cartoons, or anime) 

When it comes to the first point on "full or partial nudity," Twitter explains that exceptions can be made for "technical, medical, health, or educational content." Related content Breastfeeding is also exempt.

Twitter has been spending the past few months cleaning up its system to more clearly express what is acceptable and what may not be on the site. Last week, Twitter updated its policies on porn revenge.
