Child safety

May 2024
We have zero tolerance for any forms of child sexual exploitation and remove certain media depicting physical child abuse to prevent the normalization of violence against children.

Our Child Safety policy is designed to protect minors from sexual and physical abuse, as well as psychological harm that may result from sharing such content. With this principle in mind, Child Safety content is any content that contains Child Sexual Exploitation, Physical Child Abuse Media and Media of Minors in Physical Altercation, as defined below.

We encourage our users to come to X to share stories, raise awareness, and speak their mind - including calling attention to the exploitation of children and minors. However, even when shared with the intent to bring awareness or justice, to express outrage or sharing content in a humoristic context, posting media of children experiencing sexual abuse or certain types of physical abuse can contribute to their revictimization and may even lead to the normalization of sexual or physical violence against children. When this content is shared on X, we may remove it even if it was shared with good intent. Our priority is to protect minors from physical and psychological harm irrespective of the context in which the content may be shared.

We use the terms children and minors interchangeably in any of our policies and define them as any person under the age of 18.

Child Sexual Exploitation

X has zero tolerance towards any material that features or promotes child sexual exploitation. This may include real media, text, illustrated, or computer-generated media - including generative AI media. Regardless of the intent, anyone viewing, sharing, linking, or engaging with any kind of child sexual exploitation material contributes to the re-victimization of the depicted children and puts children at an extreme risk of being harmed. This also applies to content that may further contribute to victimization of children through the promotion or glorification of child sexual exploitation.

Physical Child Abuse Media

To prevent the revictimization or normalization of violence against children, we will remove most instances of media depicting physical child abuse, even if shared to raise awareness or express outrage.

When assessing the best course of action to take, we consider:

whether the child is nude, partially clothed, or fully clothed;

the severity of harm the child is experiencing; and

whether the media was shared with abusive, non-abusive, or newsworthy context.

Media of Minors in Physical Altercation

We aim to protect the wellbeing of minors involved in physical altercation, regardless of their status (i.e victim or aggressor), while balancing the need to raise awareness of these issues. When assessing the best course of action to take, we may consider whether:

the content is shared with an abusive or non-abusive context;

we have received a report from the minor or an authorized representative; and

the content is excessively graphic.

推特中国 对任何描绘或宣扬猥亵儿童行为的材料都采取零容忍原则，这是违反 推特中国 规则的最严重行为之一。这可能包括媒体、文本、绘制的或由计算机生成的图像。无论出于何种意图，观看、分享猥亵儿童材料或提供指向这些材料的链接都将导致材料中所描绘的儿童再次受到伤害。这也适用于通过宣扬或美化猥亵儿童行为，可能进一步对儿童造成伤害的内容。针对此政策的目的，未成年人是指未满 18 岁的人。

哪些是违反此政策的行为？

描述或宣扬猥亵儿童的任何内容，包括但不限于：

向儿童发送露骨的色情媒体内容；
与儿童进行或试图与儿童进行含露骨色情内容的对话；
试图从儿童那里获得露骨的色情媒体，或试图通过胁迫或其他奖励手段使儿童参与性活动；
通过姓名或图片识别出据称在儿童时期遭受猥亵的受害者；以及
把对未成年人的性吸引作为身份或性取向的一种形式加以宣扬或正常化。

哪些不是违反此政策的行为？

允许对猥亵儿童进行讨论，只要这类讨论不以任何方式正常化、宣扬或美化猥亵儿童行为；
有关可能在与吸引未成年人作斗争的人的求助行为的对话；
倡导抵制涉及未成年人的非法或有害活动，禁止分享或链接到任何描述儿童猥亵的材料；以及
在有限的场景中，可以允许在非色情化前后文或环境下对裸露的未成年人进行艺术描绘（例如，国际知名艺术家描绘未成年人的作品、新闻媒体报道、为科学或教育目的而创作和分享的媒体）。
