What triggers it

Posts that are sexually explicit or potentially harmful, focused only on monetization coaching or payouts, created or posted by automated means, contain disinformation, or carry a helpful Community Note.

What X says

“It is exclusively focused on monetization coaching, monetization discussion, or maximizing payouts”

How to fix it

Source your factual claims, avoid making payouts your only topic, and do not auto-post with bots.

Good to know

Watch for factual claims that could draw a Community Note (statistics, quotes, 'breaking' claims without a source) and videos whose only topic is 'how I make money on X'. Does NOT count: sourced claims, opinion clearly framed as opinion, or a passing mention of earnings in a video about something else.

Can FYProof spot it?

A full check of your video looks for it in what's shown, what's said and the caption. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.

  • Video: looked at for this rule
  • Speech: looked at for this rule
  • On-screen text: not for this rule
  • Caption: looked at for this rule
  • Hashtags: not for this rule

Part of this rule depends on your account or on what happens after you post, which a check before posting can't see.

Platforms change their rules often. This page sums up what X publishes; it isn't legal advice.
