KEY TENSION: paper's Section 2.2 may overstate the harm case based on earlier smaller studies. Meta-analysis finding of 'trivially helpful' actually supports paper's argument that TWs alone are insufficient — but the framing needs updating from 'harmful' to 'insufficient/trivially effective'. Covers content notes and sensitivity screens (e.g., Instagram blurred images) as well as traditional TWs.Key / Important ResearchMost comprehensive evidence synthesis on TW efficacy to date.
