X Tests New Feature for Adult Content Communities

The social media platform is exploring age verification and safety measures for NSFW groups.

X, formerly known as Twitter, is testing a feature that allows users to create or join communities focused on adult content or NSFW material.
The feature requires communities with adult content to be labeled as such, and it appears that age verification will ultimately be required for these groups.
The move is seen as a way for X to differentiate itself from other mainstream social networking services, with adult material having been a part of the platform even before Elon Musk's takeover.
U.S. lawmakers have been focusing on protecting teens and young people online, with X's efforts being part of the broader conversation on online safety.
It's unclear when the test will go live to a broader audience, and the feature could still be scrapped.
