​New York: In a bid to make Twitter safer, the micro-blogging website is testing a feature wherein some users' profile are flagged as containing "potentially sensitive content".

When users click on one of these profiles from a link on social network, a warning message displays, that reads 'Caution: This profile may include sensitive content', tech website techcrunh.com reported on Friday.

The warning takes up the entire profile page, requiring users to click or tap a prompt to agree to view the profile. To reduce abuse on the network, Twitter will introduce new optional filters to prevent a user from being notified when certain accounts tweet at them.
