Privacy comes with some restrictions and sometimes need effort to get a satisfying user experience.
Remember that you want maximum privacy with the least restrictions.
You do not want anybody to hinder your free speech or filter content “for you”.
The standard Twitter settings filter content, for example you cannot see double tweets or sensitive content.
What is sensitive content? Twitter decides for you aka filters what you see and what you don’t see.
To have a maximum Twitter experience, customize your Twitter settings.
Log into your Twitter account.
Click More.
Click Settings and Support.
Click Settings and privacy.
Click Privacy and safety.
Click Audience and tagging.
Click Photo tagging.
Turn off photo tagging.
Go to Settings and privacy, Privacy and safety.
Click Content you see.
Enable Display media that may contain sensitive content.
Click search settings.
Disable Hide sensitive content
To receive all tweets from other Twitter users, turn off the quality filter:
Go to Settings
Go to Filters
Disable quality filter.
Quality filter, when turned on, filters lower-quality content from your notifications, for example, duplicate Tweets or content that appears to be automated — it does not filter notifications from people you follow or accounts you’ve recently interacted with. You have the option to turn this on or off in your notifications settings. (Instructions listed below.)
To set filters on twitter.com:
Go to your Notifications timeline.
To filter your notifications, click on Settings.
Click on Advanced filters.
Check the box of your preferred filter(s) to turn on.
To set filters using Twitter for iOS:
Go to your Notifications timeline
Tap on the gear icon
Tap Advanced filters.
Drag the slider next to your preferred filter(s) to turn on.
To set filters using Twitter for Android:
Go to your Notifications timeline
Tap on the gear icon
Tap Advanced filters.Check the box of your preferred filter(s) to turn on.
