What triggers it
Video taken at, just before or just after the death of an identifiable person.
What X says
“We may request the removal of images or videos that were taken at the point of, immediately before, or after an identifiable individual's death, if we receive a request from their family or an authorized representative.”
We last checked this against X's page on .
How to fix it
Cut the moment of death and blur identifying features, or use footage that does not show the death.
Good to know
Removal happens on a family request; X weighs public interest. Accident, shooting or war footage where a specific person dies on camera counts.
Can FYProof spot it?
A full check of your video looks for it in what's shown. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.
