What triggers it

Footage of dangerous driving that could cause life-threatening injury (street racing, speedometer at extreme speed, filming while driving recklessly), or promoting mid-risk viral challenges.

What Threads says

“Imagery depicting dangerous forms of driving a motor vehicle that could lead to life-threatening injuries or death to the driver or others, except if shared in fictional or professional settings.”

How to fix it

Cut the reckless-driving shots or show it in a clearly professional setting.

Good to know

Fictional and professional settings (motorsport, stunt productions) are excepted. Teens' 13+ setting also avoids recommending risky stunts such as jumping from heights.

Can FYProof spot it?
