After that, launch NordVPN (or any other VPN, like Surfshark, which is a great option) and connect to a server in the same country. If you’ve chosen the USA in X, connect to a US VPN server (it works particularly well!).
Reload your X app or web page, and age restrictions will be alleviated!
If you still can’t see sensitive content, go to Settings, choose Privacy and Safety, and visit the Content You See tab. From there, enable “
Display media that may contain sensitive content
” and confirm your settings.
What’s the Deal With X’s Age Verification?
Just a minute ago, we mentioned a few affected regions, but really, the majority of Europe is affected, as well. We’re talking about France, the UK, and other countries. These countries implemented age verification laws.
These laws usually require all adult sites or sites with adult content to verify their visitors’ age. Such is the case with Pornhub in many American states; Florida, for example. Twitter is accessible in ‘affected’ regions.
However, each time you encounter what X deems adult, mature, or NSFW content, you’ll see the error message below. Twitter claims it will estimate your age, but there’s no way to verify it manually. Only X Premium allows that.

We’re uncertain about X’s future and whether other countries will be affected. After all, this depends on the laws in specific countries. In any case, using a VPN appears to be the best, most effective option for this scenario.
