What triggers it
Hate-group symbols (e.g. the Nazi swastika), images altered to give people animal features, or edits adding hateful symbols or mass-murder references (e.g. yellow Star of David badges).
What X says
“Media depicting hateful imagery is not permitted within live video, account bio, profile or header images. All other instances must be marked as sensitive media.”
We last checked this against X's page on .
How to fix it
Mark the media as sensitive or blur the symbol, and make the educational or historical context clear in the caption.
Good to know
Historical documentaries and education still need the sensitive-media mark. Watch for symbols in flags, tattoos, clothing and graffiti.
