Using another company's trademark (name, logo) in a way that may mislead people about an affiliation, such as presenting yourself as the brand's official channel.
What X says
“Using another's trademark in a way that may mislead or confuse people about your affiliation may be a violation of our trademark policy.”
How to fix it
Make clear you are not affiliated (for example 'unofficial' or 'review'), and do not use the brand's logo as your own branding.
Good to know
Reviews, comparisons and news that simply name or show a brand are fair use and fine. Only applies when the video looks like it comes from or is endorsed by the brand.
