Online child sexual exploitation and abuse is a rising threat to our nation’s kids and teens. In 2023, there were more than 36 million reports of online child sexual exploitation and abuse made to NCMEC. @Know2Protect is on a mission to help protect kids and teens and ensure they know the signs of this crime. Let’s stand together to protect them online. Together We Can Stop Online Child Exploitation™. Visit to learn more. #OnlineSafety# @DHSgov @NCMEC

We take seriously our responsibility to protect minors. X has zero tolerance for CSAM, including AI-generated CSAM. As an industry leader, we actively report and block users who violate our Terms of Service, which absolutely prohibit all forms of child sexual exploitation, including posting or engaging with child sexual abuse material. So far this year, we have reported 1.3 million cases to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Additionally, we employ industry-leading tools and processes to protect minors, including: - We scan media against known-CSAM hash libraries (including hashes from NCMEC and partners such as IWF) using industry tools such as PhotoDNA alongside proprietary detection. We run models at post-creation time (LLMs and custom classifiers, legal/policy-reviewed) and conduct manual Child Safety operations reviews to catch CSE/CSAM that isn’t already in a hash set. We also run proactive keyword and media sweeps, plus heuristics that are partially or fully automated, when signals indicate possible CSAM. - Apparent CSAM leads to removal, and we have permanently suspended over 780,000 users in the past month alone, with ban-evasion controls. Whenever we become aware of apparent CSAM (including AI-generated CSAM), we report it to NCMEC. AI-generated CSAM is enforced under the same Child Sexual Exploitation policy as non-generative CSAM. We also continuously improve hash coverage, classifiers, and review workflows because this threat is ever evolving and highly adversarial. - We have also brought and will, if necessary, continue to bring lawsuits against users who have intentionally circumvented safeguards to generate this despicable content. In the first half of 2026 alone, X Corp made more than 1.3 million reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, resulting at least 543 arrests - Finally, we are an active member of the Tech Coalition, an alliance of global tech companies who are working together to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse online. Tech Coalition is an invaluable resource to understand the best practices and new approaches used across the industry to detect and prevent the sharing of CSAM. It allows member companies to share best practices, challenges and new insights that ensure that we are up-to-date when it comes to trends related to these high severity violations.

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.
