Sisältöselitteet

Sisältöselitteet, a Finnish term, translates to "content disclaimers" or "content warnings." These are notices provided to audiences before they consume specific content, such as media, articles, or performances. The purpose of a sisältöselite is to inform individuals about potentially sensitive or triggering material they may encounter.

Common examples of information conveyed in a sisältöselite include mentions of violence, sexual content, strong language, or depictions of mental health struggles. The aim is to allow individuals to make an informed decision about whether to engage with the content, respecting their personal boundaries and sensitivities.

The use of sisältöselitteet has gained prominence in various online spaces and media platforms. They are often seen as a proactive measure to promote responsible content sharing and consumption. While the specific wording and format can vary, the core function remains consistent: to provide a heads-up about potentially distressing elements within the content. This practice aligns with broader discussions about media literacy and audience well-being.
