What an “NSFW” Label Tells You Before You Open a Link

NSFW stands for “not safe for work.” It flags material that may be unsuitable to open around coworkers or in public.

What Does NSFW Mean? 

“The article contains graphic photos, so the link is marked NSFW.”

The label can cover nudity, violence, profanity, or other material people might prefer to open in private. It does not specify what the link contains, so add a short content description when sharing it.
