Twitter censors video juxtaposing Joe Biden's drug bill speech with his son Hunter's crack usage: Someone created a video that features a split screen showing then-Senator Joe Biden giving a speech touting his bill to crack down on drug usage with video of his son Hunter taken from his laptop showing him smoking crack. This video went somewhat viral. When a Twitter user shared it, Twitter placed a sensitive content filter over the it. Such filters do not allow users on the mobile app who have the sensitive filter enabled on their profile 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.
