What triggers it
Violent speech X judges lower-severity: minor or unintended harm, self-defense or military-conflict context, outrage at perpetrators of major harm, an unclear target, or coded 'dog whistle' calls to violence.
What X says
“in certain cases, we may make the violative content less visible by restricting its reach on X”
We last checked this against X's page on .
How to fix it
Drop violent wishes even against wrongdoers. State criticism without calling for harm.
Good to know
Look for violent wishes aimed at 'deserving' targets (criminals, enemy soldiers) and coded calls to action.
