What is allowed.
What is not. By country.
Governments can force X to hide posts, rank them down, or block the whole service. X now publishes the ranking filters in the open-source algorithm. This atlas puts those filters next to national blocks and the latest transparency-report demand — so you can see your country beside everyone else’s.
Government removal demand
Named rows from the July–December 2024 global report. EU is one bucket. Most other countries sit in “All others.”
