arlier this week, Twitter users complained after discovering that photo and news search results were blocked for terms like “bisexual.” Twitter apologized for what it said was an error and now it’s released a more detailed update.

“We apologize for anyone negatively impacted by this bug. It is not consistent with our values as a company,” Twitter said in a thread on its support account.

Twitter explained that the company uses terms that often appear with adult content to identify sensitive media, but since many of those terms are not problematic by themselves, that means Twitter’s system needs to weigh them in context with other signals. But the list of terms it used “was out of date, had not been maintained and incorrectly included terms that are primarily used in non-sensitive contexts.”

As a result, some tweets were incorrectly identified as containing sensitive content. Twitter says it has updated its list, removing some terms, and will implement changes over the next 24 hours.

Twitter should let it remain that way or better still, the search for the results should come out as "you are an animal"
