Change the account's settings on X

x_settings_set · Write on X (creates a job)

Set some of the account's own settings on X, through X's Settings pages, each read back after a reload: protected posts, sensitive media (show / mark your own), discoverability by email / phone, personalised ads, location on posts, notification quality filter, photo tagging (all / following / none). Give only the keys to change; one already at its target is changed=false with no click. Direct-message settings live in X Chat and are not here. Owner / Manager only; protected / discoverability / tagging changes are audited with the old value. Not limited.

#Input
