How to Report on X (Twitter)
How to report harmful content, accounts, or direct messages on X (formerly Twitter) that may put children at risk.
Navigate to the content or account
Find the post, reply, direct message, or account profile that you want to report. X allows you to report individual posts, entire accounts, direct messages, and Spaces.
Tap the three-dot menu
On a post, tap the three dots in the top right corner of the post. On a profile, tap the three-dot menu icon. In direct messages, press and hold the specific message.
Select 'Report post' or 'Report account'
Choose the appropriate report option. Select the reason that best describes your concern. For child safety, choose 'Abusive or harmful' and then 'Involves a child'. Follow the prompts to provide additional detail.
Submit your report
Review your selections and submit the report. X's safety team will review the content against their rules. You can check the status of your report in Settings > Help Centre > Your reports.
Block the account and report to authorities if needed
Consider blocking the account to prevent further contact. If the content involves child sexual exploitation or immediate danger to a child, report to CEOP (ceop.police.uk) and your local police in addition to the platform report.
This is general educational guidance, not professional advice. If a child is in immediate danger, call 999 (UK) or 911 (US).
