  Greetings
  I’m a new blogger and noticed that whenever I or anyone else shares the link to my blog or any of the posts on twitter, twitter hides the link preview and marks it as ‘sensitive media.’
  I read twitter’s policy and realized there is nothing sensitive on my blog.
  How can I fix this? As it’s really frustrating that people are unable to see the link previews of my posts so that they can click on it and read more.
  Any inputs will be really appreciated.
  The blog I need help with is http://www.blindgirlmusings.wordpress.com

  Site: https://blindgirlmusings.wordpress.com.
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there, it would be really helpful if you would provide a link to a post on your site and the corresponding tweet on twitter so we can try to help troubleshoot this. Thanks.

  Hello again, I still think it might be preferable to share actual links to a post and the resulting tweet. :)

  However, if you upload the screenshots to your site’s Media Library, you can then copy the URL there and paste it here. That will create a link. https://wordpress.com/support/make-a-screenshot/#sharing-your-screenshot

  OK-I did a little more digging and I believe this is a setting you need to change in your Twitter account. https://twitter.com/settings/your_tweets There is a setting there where you can untick the box to indicate that your content may be sensitive.

  I’m sorry that I’m not being exact, but right in the middle of replying here, twitter dumped me out and wants to check that I’m a human and not a robot.

  Glad that helped. You’re most welcome.

  Just so you know, even when the media is blocked, twitter provides a link to the post.
