Check a video freeWhat triggers it
Re-posting material that was already removed after a copyright complaint, or pointing viewers to where copyrighted material can be accessed elsewhere.
What X says
“Re-posting material removed in response to a copyright complaint may result in permanent account suspension.”
How to fix it
Do not re-upload. File a counter-notice if you believe the removal was wrong.
Good to know
A single link elsewhere is not automatically a suspension; X looks for accounts 'intended solely or primarily to infringe'.
