What triggers it
Video showing physical abuse of a child, especially when the child is nude, the context is abusive, or the harm is moderate or severe.
What X says
“we will remove most instances of media depicting physical child abuse, even if shared to raise awareness or express outrage.”

How to fix it
Do not post the footage. Describe the case in words or link to news coverage instead.
Good to know
Awareness or outrage framing does NOT make it allowed. Limited exceptions (rescue footage, news) stay up only behind a Graphic Content warning.
