### Overview 

**June 2023**
**October 2023**

**You may not threaten, incite, glorify, or express desire for violence or harm.**

X is a place where people can express themselves, learn about what’s happening, and debate global issues. However, healthy conversations can’t thrive when violent speech is used to deliver a message. As a result, we have a zero tolerance policy towards violent speech in order to ensure the safety of our users and prevent the normalization of violent actions.

### What is not a violation of this policy?  

We allow expressions of violent speech when there is no clear abusive or violent context, such as (but not limited to) hyperbolic and consensual speech between friends, or during discussion of video games and sporting events. 

We also allow certain cases of figures of speech, satire, or artistic expression when the context is expressing a viewpoint rather than instigating actionable violence or harm.

### What happens if you violate this policy?  

In most cases, we will immediately and permanently suspend any account that violates this policy. For less severe violations, we may instead temporarily lock you out of your account before you can Post again. In rare cases, we may make the violative content less visible by [restricting its reach](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/enforcement-options) on X. However, if you continue to violate this policy after receiving a warning, your account will be permanently suspended.

We also recognize that conversations regarding certain individuals credibly accused of severe violence may prompt outrage and associated violent speech. In these limited cases, we may take less punitive measures.  

If you believe that your account was suspended in error, you can [submit an appeal](https://help.twitter.com/en/forms/account-access/appeals.html).
