Related: I'm providing a JS implementation of Weizenbaum's ELIZA [1] on my website since 2005. Recently, Twitter decided that this is sensitive content, probably, because the page mentions that Weizenbaum's original program was written in MAD-SLIP on a IBM 7094. (I can't think of any other trigger.)
This tainting has apparently propagated to my account, which is linked to the site in the description. Now, tweets in context of my site (e.g., announcing a blog post) are randomly marked as sensitive content, as well. Last week, someone sent a Tweet thanking me for putting ELIZA on the web. A simple reply, "You are welcome.", was marked as sensitive content. (My site is up since April 1999 and there has never been any offensive or sensitive content. The same applies to any of my tweets.)
Also, there is no process to report such an erroneous tainting. A Tweet to TwitterSupport linking to said "You are welcome"-Tweet was tainted, as well, and doesn't show up in search results. (If not logged in, a direct link to this Tweet [2] results in "This is not available to you" on Safari, but is accessible using Firefox.)

- jpxw 6y agoI don’t even understand how “MAD-SLIP” could be offensive.
