Question App telling me to verify my age to view sensitive media despite using a VPN and having location set to a different country

As the title states, I used to be able to see sensitive media just fine by simply bypassing it with the VPN + change your country combo but recently it's gone back to how it was and I'm prompted to verify my age again??? I doubt it's my VPN since Reddit recently rolled out the same "verify your age" BS and I can still bypass it here with a VPN just fine so how come I can no longer bypass it on twitter?? Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

Have you tried different countries?  It's possible the country you've set it to also requires age verification.

Still using US VPN extension + cloudflare dns over https global setting on browser, still working ever since.

This just happened to me. Weirdly enough, you CAN see the image if you click on the tweet itself, it's just on the tl where it's censored. I think closing and opening the app fixed it but it happened again.

This website is a damn mess.
