What triggers it
Adult content, violent media, hateful imagery or self-harm depictions used in a live broadcast or as a profile picture, header, List banner or Community cover.
What X says
“You can't include Adult Content within areas that are highly visible on X, including in live video, profile pictures, headers, List banners, or Community cover photos.”

How to fix it
Use a clean image or clip for profile, header and live use. Post sensitive media only as a normal post with a content warning.
Good to know
A content warning does not make it allowed in these places.
