"we remove the most graphic content and add warning labels to other types of content so that people are aware it may be sensitive before they click through. We restrict the ability for younger users to see content that may not be suitable or age-appropriate for them.

"Glorifying violence or harm violates Bluesky's Community Guidelines,"
"We are closely monitoring our platform and prominently elevating news content on the homepage, in search and in recommendations to help people stay informed."
Graphic videos of Charlie Kirk being fatally shot circulated widely on social platforms. Bluesky enforces rules against glorifying violence, removes the most graphic content, adds warning labels, and restricts younger users' access. YouTube stated condolences to Kirk's family, is elevating news content, will remove some graphic content lacking context, and will age-restrict footage that shows the attack. YouTube also prohibits content that revels in or mocks death or serious injury. Meta's response is not detailed here. Platforms emphasize balancing user expression with safety and aim to provide appropriate experiences while limiting exposure to graphic or celebratory violent content.
