Report sensitive media

If you encounter media in posts that you believe should be treated as sensitive under X’s media policy, please report it using the process described below.

How to report media in posts
  1. Navigate to the post you’d like to report on X.com or from the X for iOS or Android app.
  2. Click or tap the  icon. 
  3. Select Report post.
  4. Select It displays a sensitive image.
  5. Next we’ll provide recommendations for additional actions you can take to improve your X experience.
     

Please remember that if you are seeing something you don’t like, and X hasn’t placed a warning label before it, it’s possible that it doesn’t meet our threshold for a warning on the media.


What happens to sensitive media I report?

 

X reviews reports of media flagged by users to determine if that media requires a warning message in order to comply with X’s media policies. Please remember that by flagging media you are bringing it to the attention of the X team. The flagged content will not automatically receive a warning message or be removed from the site.

For information about what you can do if your content is reported as sensitive, see X's media policy.
