For those who'd rather go directly to the source instead of a May 11th 2020 article, which is itself based on a newspunch article from December 2019, on a religious site acting as though it's a brand new policy change, here is twitter's media policy: https://archive.is/4C3gp#selection-883.0-919.2
It is also worth noting that the language seen has been in place since at least Oct 2019, having changed some time between May 15th 2019 and Oct 15th, 2019. So it isn't exactly a new change at all.
Interestingly, in the May 2019 archive, the policy reads:
Media containing adult content is not permitted within live video, profile or header images.
But that explicit mention pertaining to live video is no longer present in the current policy.
I've no doubt that sick fucks will be seeking to exploit the current policy, but as said, this isn't some new revelation.

It happened in 2019? I'd consider that new.
