The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, received criticism from researchers after it labeled a link by the investigative journalism group Bellingcat about Russia’s attack on a children’s hospital in Kyiv as “potentially spammy or unsafe.”
In their latest research, Bellingcat identified a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile that struck Ukraine’s largest children’s medical center, Okhmatdyt, during an attack on Kyiv over the weekend that killed 33 people, including 5 children.
Bellingcat’s investigation debunked claims from pro-Russian accounts that denied responsibility for the attack and “sought to shift the blame for the incident onto Ukraine,” researchers said.

Despite its reputation, X marked the link to the group’s latest research as “unsafe,” saying that it could lead users to “violent or misleading content” or to a website that misleads people, disrupts their experience, or steals their personal information.
So tell us, what did you identify it as and what characteristics did you use to make that identification?
