Protests on the social platform have entered a new phase, with users shirking the platform’s NSFW content rules en masse. The development has some media buyers on high alert, experts say.

The entire premise of NSFW is silly to me. Like no one has an obligation to make sure YOU are safely browsing at work. Get back to work.

I think you're taking the W in NSFW too literally. It's a user-moderated content filtering system. Be it at work, school, on a bus, in the streets, many people wish to be considerate of others and don't want to publicly flaunt questionable material.

It may be to protect others from having to view it or to protect themselves from repercussion viewing explicit content in professional environments.

There's also a difference between some text with 'bad words' and having hardcore porn or beheadings (NSFL) or whatever. Is there a grey area? Of course, different people will consider different things appropriate, especially in different settings and different cultures, but giving users the ability to flag content they post as 'potentially questionable' (synonymous to NSFW from my perspective) is just a means to respect other users.
