This policy applies to monetization on X and X’s paid advertising products.

What's the policy?

X prohibits the promotion of fraudulent and deceptive content globally. Advertisements are prohibited from promoting the following:

Deceptive Content 

• Ads must not promote products or services using deceptive marketing or misrepresentative business practices. Examples include:
  • Use of clickbait tactics, where the primary purpose is to drive users to a landing page through exaggerated, sensationalized, inaccurate language or calls-to-action.
  • Use of misleading tactics or claims during the promotion of a product or service.
  • Promotion of offers or deals that are not available or omitting vital information on pricing, payment terms, or expenses the customer will incur. 

Fraudulent Schemes

• Ads must not promote content that is associated with fraudulent or scam-like behavior. Examples include:
  • Tricking users into sending money or sharing personal information without a tangible product or service. 
  • Offering cash gifts.
  • Promoting financial scams such as: “get rich quick”, multi-level marketing, pyramid, loan modification, penny stocks, NFTs, Altcoins, or binary option schemes. (see Financial Products and Services for more information)

Impractical Outcomes

• Ads must not contain content that promises or suggests unjustified opportunities or results. Examples include:
  • Promoting unrealistic claims, results within a specific period, or health or economic opportunities.
  • Promoting claims or services attempting to change a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

Circumventing Systems

• Ads must not engage in cloaking tactics, otherwise restricting landing page access, or modifications to URL content following submission to circumvent the review process.

Non-existent Features or Functionality

• Ads must not contain content with non-existent features or functionality. Examples include:
  • Mimicking X-like features where the functionality does not exist.
  • Containing excessive redirects on landing pages.
  • Containing non-functional features or calls-to-action in the ad creative.
