Twitter censors tweet about female students in Afghanistan being sent home as "sensitive content": Conservative journalist Ian Miles Cheong retweeted a photo with description that one of his followers shared with him. The photo simply showed a group of young children standing outside a school in Afghanistan with backpacks on. The accompanying tweet read: "A photo of a school in Afghanistan closed due to security issues. The students showed up bright and early anyway. Teachers said goodbye to their female students who won’t be allowed to go to school anymore. A numbing helpless feeling....." Twitter placed a sensitive content filter over the entire tweet. 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.
