What X says
“Dangerous challenges or stunts”
We last checked this against X's page on .
How to fix it
Do not film or promote risky challenges. If showing one for news or warning purposes, do not show how to do it and say clearly why it is dangerous.
Good to know
X classes these as self-harm behaviors. Watch for viral challenge hashtags, choking or blackout games, ingesting non-food items, risky stunts that viewers could copy. In our judgment (not X's wording), professional stunts with clear safety framing and no how-to are lower risk.
