"Non-consensual nudity policy - Learn what we classify as non-consensual nudity and our reporting and enforcement procedures for violations of this policy.— Excerpt from X's X Rules and Policies
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Non-consensual intimate imagery is criminalized at the federal level in the US under the SHIELD Act and in numerous states, and the EU has addressed it through the Digital Services Act's illegal content provisions. The UK Online Safety Act specifically addresses non-consensual intimate image sharing as priority illegal content. Platforms may face civil liability in some jurisdictions for failing to remove such content expeditiously. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High from a user safety and regulatory compliance perspective. Platforms operating in jurisdictions where non-consensual intimate imagery is illegal face mandatory takedown obligations with specified timelines, and inadequate enforcement mechanisms may attract regulatory action. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: UK users have specific protections under the Online Safety Act, which designates non-consensual intimate images as priority illegal content requiring expedited removal. EU users benefit from DSA illegal content obligations. US state laws vary in criminalization and in civil liability frameworks for platform non-compliance. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations providing trust and safety services to X or operating in partnership with X on content moderation should assess whether their service agreements specify response time requirements for non-consensual nudity reports consistent with applicable legal obligations. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should review the full non-consensual nudity policy to assess whether X's reporting and removal procedures satisfy the jurisdictionally applicable timelines and standards in the EU, UK, and US state contexts. Victim support organizations advising individuals on content removal should review the policy's reporting procedures.
