X states that it maintains country-specific resources describing how the platform complies with local laws in different jurisdictions, meaning the rights and obligations applicable to a user's account may vary depending on where they are located.
This analysis describes what X's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The terms acknowledge that local laws may impose different obligations on X and its users, meaning platform features, content availability, and user rights may differ by country in ways that are not captured by the general rules and policies index.
Interpretive note: The index does not specify which countries have dedicated resources or what specific legal obligations are addressed in each country article, requiring review of individual linked documents.
This provision indicates that the specific rules and protections applicable to a user's account depend in part on their jurisdiction, and users in countries with specific local law requirements should review the country-specific resources to understand what rights or restrictions apply to them.

"Country-specific resources - Articles that describe how X supports applicable local laws— Excerpt from X's X Rules and Policies
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Country-specific compliance frameworks engage a broad range of national laws including GDPR in the EU/EEA, the Digital Services Act, the UK Online Safety Act, NetzDG in Germany, local defamation and hate speech laws, and election law requirements in various jurisdictions. The document does not specify which laws are covered by each country resource, requiring individual review. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High for multinational organizations operating accounts across multiple jurisdictions. Differential legal obligations mean that content permissible in one jurisdiction may result in enforcement action in another, and organizations need jurisdiction-specific content governance frameworks. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA jurisdictions carry the most extensive regulatory obligations given GDPR and DSA requirements. Germany's NetzDG imposes specific takedown timelines. Jurisdictions with active internet regulation including Turkey, India, and Brazil have country-specific compliance requirements that may affect platform feature availability. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B agreements with X that involve multi-jurisdictional operations should specify which country-specific policies apply and how conflicts between jurisdictional requirements are resolved. Organizations with global social media management functions should establish jurisdiction-specific content review protocols. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and compliance teams with global operations should obtain and review all relevant country-specific policy documents rather than relying on the general rules index. Privacy impact assessments for EU operations should account for jurisdiction-specific DSA and GDPR obligations that may deviate from X's general terms.
