Child safety is our top priority. While X, as a service, is not primarily for children, we take our responsibility very seriously for the young users who are here. We’re continuously improving our tools and policies to protect them to keep their children safer. Here are some of the ways we’re doing it:

We have strict measures in place to protect minors:

- Users under 13 cannot create accounts
- Minor accounts are defaulted to 'Protected', which allows for more control of who can see their content
- Sensitive media is restricted from minors
- Location sharing is turned off by default
- Advertisers cannot specifically target users under 18 years old
- Where X is legally required to do so, we take a multi-faceted age assurance approach to verify or estimate user age and restrict prohibited content from known minors

What ‘Protected’ means for 13-17 year olds:

Under protected mode, the default for young people:

-DMs are restricted to receive DMs from accounts they follow by default
- A follow request is sent to approve or deny when someone new wants to follow them
- Posts are only visible to approved followers
- Followers cannot repost or repost with comment
- Protected posts do not appear in third-party search engines such as Google - they are only searchable on X by the poster and their followers
- Replies sent to accounts that are not following the minor will not be seen (only followers can see posts from protected accounts)

We work closely with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) to report suspected CSAM through their CyberTipline, enabling rapid investigation, takedown, and law enforcement action as necessary

X is for everyone. Report any issues or concerns via our in-app tools or Help Center.

Auf X ist die Vorfreude besonders hoch: 4 von 5 Nutzer:innen freuen sich stärker auf die Winterspiele als Nicht-Nutzer:innen — allen voran der Eiskunstlauf als eines der meist erwarteten Highlights.

We’re excited to share that, starting today, advertisers can now measure ad placements on X Profiles using post bid measurement from @integralads (IAS).

Brand Safety remains a top priority at X, and we’re proud to make this product enhancement widely available to all X and IAS clients. Expanding IAS measurement across X’s Profiles further strengthens transparency, advertiser confidence, and measurement consistency across the platform.

This launch represents another step forward in delivering industry leading brand safety performance at scale!

When cultural moments break, audiences gather on X.

We’re trying something new: we’re giving $1 million to the Top Article of the next payout period.

We're doubling down on what creators on 𝕏 do best: writing.

In 2026, our goal is to recognize high-value, high-impact content that shapes conversation, breaks news and moves culture.

Ladies and gentlemen:

We’re giving $1 million to the top article posted on X. You have 2 weeks.

It's time to write.
