Graphic violence and adult content
The company does not allow people to post graphic violence.
This could be any form of gory media related to death, serious injury, violence, or surgical procedures.
Adult content – that includes media that is pornographic and/or may be intended to cause sexual arousal – is also banned.
Some form of graphic violence and adult content is allowed in Tweets marked as containing sensitive media.
However, these images are not allowed in profile or header images.
Twitter may sometimes require users to remove excessively graphic violence out of respect for the deceased and their families.
Unlawful use
The platform is not allowed to be used to further illegal activities.
Badges
Users are not allowed to use badges, including but not limited to the ‘promoted’ or ‘verified’ Twitter badges, unless provided by Twitter.
Accounts using unauthorised badges as part of their profile photos, header photos, display names, or in any way that falsely implies affiliation with Twitter or authorisation from Twitter to display these badges, may be suspended.
Usernames
Users may not buy or sell Twitter usernames.
Username squatting – when people take the name of a trademark company or a celebrity – is not allowed.
Twitter also has the right to remove accounts that are inactive for more than six months.
Abusive behaviour
Context matters when evaluating for abusive behaviour and determining appropriate enforcement actions.
Factors we may take into consideration include whether the behaviour is targeted at an individual; the report has been filed by the target of the abuse or a bystander or the behaviour is newsworthy and in the legitimate public interest.
Users may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people.
This includes, but is not limited to, threatening or promoting terrorism.
Users may not promote or encourage suicide or self-harm. Users may not promote child sexual exploitation.
Users may not direct abuse at someone by sending unwanted sexual content, objectifying them in a sexually explicit manner, or otherwise engaging in sexual misconduct.
Users may not use hateful images or symbols in your profile image or profile header.
Private information
Users may not publish or post other people’s private information without their express authorisation and permission.
Users may not post or share intimate photos or videos of someone that were produced or distributed without their consent.
Users may not threaten to expose someone’s private information or intimate media.
