Reporting on Twitter/X

5 min

← Back to Platform Reporting

Twitter/X has undergone significant policy changes since its acquisition in 2022. Understanding the current reporting landscape is essential for effective antisemitism reporting on the platform.

Current Policies

Twitter/X's hateful conduct policy prohibits content that "promotes violence against, threatens, or harasses other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease."

Antisemitic content falls under protections for religious affiliation and ethnicity/national origin.

How to Report

  • Click the three-dot menu on the tweet
  • Select "Report post"
  • Choose "Hateful conduct"
  • Select the most specific applicable category
  • Add additional context if prompted
  • Submit the report

Reporting Tips for Twitter/X

Thread context: If the antisemitic content is part of a thread, report the specific tweet(s) that contain the violation but reference the thread context in your description.

Quote tweets: If someone has quote-tweeted antisemitic content to amplify it (rather than to criticize it), report the quote tweet as well as the original.

Profile content: Antisemitic usernames, display names, and bio text can be reported separately from individual tweets via the profile's three-dot menu.

Trusted Reporter programs: Some monitoring organizations have trusted reporter status, which gives their reports higher priority in the moderation queue. If your organization does not have this status, consider applying.

Common Challenges

  • Reports of coded antisemitism are frequently rejected because moderators do not recognize the codes
  • Response times vary from hours to weeks
  • Content may be found "not in violation" even when it clearly violates policy
  • Appeals sometimes succeed where initial reports fail - always appeal rejected reports for clear violations
