I&D for X

Inclusion & Diversity on X

X is an online forum where users can discuss the latest news and events.

 

As such, X users are passionate about what’s happening in the world—and due to the open nature of the platform, users can be particularly vulnerable to criticism. To help avoid this, content posted to X should be relevant and informative. Additionally, all language used in tweets should be analyzed for all creative and accessibility guidelines.
