Twitter tests “sensitive content” feature
Twitter has recently begun testing a feature that warns users of profiles with “potentially sensitive content”. The feature hides the images and tweets of “sensitive” accounts until users click to see. The company only explicitly bans violent live video and pornography, so this will help users avoid the less extreme, but still sensitive content.

Instagram releases Geostickers
Instagram has also continued its own copycat act with its new release of Geostickers. The feature is almost identical to Snapchat filters, allowing users to use a special overlay depending on their location. It’s currently being tested in New York and Jakarta, Indonesia.
