X Rules and Policies

This document is X's central index of rules and policies that govern content posting, account usage, and platform safety enforcement. X's policies authorize the removal of content and suspension of accounts across categories including hate speech, spam, non-consensual nudity, private information sharing, harassment, violent speech, and platform manipulation. The index links to sub-policies on sensitive media, hateful conduct, copyright, age-based access restrictions, and country-specific legal compliance procedures.

This document is X's (formerly Twitter's) platform-level Rules and Policies index page, hosted at help.x.com/en/rules-and-policies, which serves as a navigational hub cataloguing the full set of content governance, safety, platform integrity, intellectual property, account management, law enforcement, and research policies that govern user conduct and platform operations on X. The terms authorize X to take enforcement actions including content removal, account suspension, and visibility restrictions across categories including spam, platform manipulation, hateful conduct, violent speech, child sexual exploitation, non-consensual nudity, private information posting, and counterfeit goods. The document is structured as an index rather than a self-contained policy instrument, meaning the operative legal obligations reside in the linked sub-policies rather than this page itself; the page does reference age-inferencing practices for minor users and country-specific legal compliance frameworks. The document engages regulatory frameworks including the EU Digital Services Act, GDPR, COPPA, and applicable national laws referenced in country-specific resource articles, with enforcement dependencies varying significantly by jurisdiction. Material compliance considerations include X's stated age-inference methodology for minor users, its law enforcement data disclosure guidelines, its research and experimentation disclosures, and its authenticity and platform manipulation policies, each of which may require evaluation under applicable data protection, consumer protection, and online safety regulations.

This policy index establishes the framework under which X applies content moderation and account enforcement. Users' ability to post content and maintain account access operates subject to compliance with the linked sub-policies covering harassment, hateful conduct, sensitive media, non-consensual nudity, and private information. The document references age-inference mechanisms applied to minor accounts and country-specific legal compliance resources that establish different operational requirements depending on user jurisdiction.
