2025 Transparency Report

We strive to create an environment where users feel empowered to express themselves. When abusive behavior occurs, we make it easy for users to report violations of X Rules or local laws. Below, you'll find the total number of global user reports from January to June 2024, excluding Platform Manipulation and Spam, which is broken out separately below.

When we take enforcement actions, we may do so either on a specific piece of content (e.g., an individual post or direct message) or on an account. Below is a summary table of our automated and manual rule enforcement actions and post violation rates which depict the percentage of all posts that were actioned for violating one of the X Rules during the covered time period. This data may include potential false positives and does not attempt to account for false negatives.

In the following pages, we break down our enforcement actions by policy area over a six-month period from July to December 2024. It is further broken down into the specific actions taken, and if they were performed through automated or human review.

At X, we have zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation and are committed to removing media that features or promotes child sexual exploitation. We also suspend users who engage with that content to prevent the normalization of any kind of child sexual exploitation material. Along with taking action under our Rules, we also work closely with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

At X, we are committed to a respectful community. We prohibit direct attacks based on race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.

We want X to be a place where people can make human connections, find reliable information, and express themselves freely and safely. To make that possible, we do not allow spam or other types of platform manipulation. We define platform manipulation as using X to engage in bulk, aggressive, or deceptive activity that misleads others and/or disrupts their experience through inauthentic behaviors or content.

At X, we have zero tolerance for threats or promotion of terrorism and violent extremism. We do not allow violent or hateful entities— including terrorist organizations, extremist groups, perpetrators of violent attacks,

X is a place where people can express themselves, show and learn about what’s happening, and debate global issues, often sharing images and videos as part of the conversation. However, healthy conversations can’t thrive when Violent Speech is used to deliver a message, and not every participant wishes to be exposed to Violent Media.

At X, we are dedicated to supporting mental health and preventing harm. We do not permit content that promotes or encourages suicide or self-harm.

At X, authenticity is crucial. We do not tolerate the misappropriation of identities or the use of fake identities to deceive others. Our policies are designed to prevent any form of identity fraud or misleading accounts or behaviors on our platform. Read more here.

At X, sharing explicit sexual images or videos of someone without their consent is strictly prohibited, whether the content is AI-generated or organically created. This severe violation of privacy, often referred to as revenge porn, poses serious safety and security risks and can lead to significant physical, emotional, and financial hardship for those affected.

At X, protecting privacy is a priority. You may not threaten, publish, or share other people's private information or media without their express authorization and consent. We enforce strict measures to safeguard personal privacy and prevent unauthorized disclosures. Read more here.

X fights for free speech and to protect its users. At X, government, legal, and law enforcement requests are managed through our established guidelines. We provide clear procedures for law enforcement seeking account information and content removal. For detailed information and to learn about requests to withhold content, please read more.

Non-public information about X users will not be released to law enforcement except in response to appropriate legal processes such as a subpoena, court order, other valid legal process, or in response to a valid emergency request.

Respecting intellectual property is crucial. At X, we take intellectual property rights seriously, including both copyright and trademark protections. A trademark or copyright can be a word, logo, or phrase that identifies a brand's goods or services, and the law helps prevent unauthorized or confusing use of these marks. We respond to reports of alleged trademark policy violations when we receive a valid complaint from the trademark owner or their authorized representative. Similarly, we respond to valid copyright takedown notices from copyright owners or their authorized representatives. We carefully review each report received under our policies, and follow up with the reporter as appropriate.

We may not take action on every notice for a variety of reasons. For example, we may not take action on trademark notices filed
