X will now tell users when governments have forced it to limit their posts
Monday, September 21, 2026
X announced an expansion of its "Under the Hood" transparency tool to display when posts have been downranked or withheld following government requests or local laws, and to identify which country issued the request. The tool previously showed some moderation actions but did not specify government-ordered restrictions. X did not provide a launch date for the expanded feature.
