Realistically simulating deceased or abused people (including AI-generated voices or faces of crime or disaster victims) describing their death or the violence they experienced; creators simulating serious violence against others; a real person's face put on violent footage.
What YouTube says
“Content that realistically simulates deceased or abused individuals describing their death or violence experienced.”
How to fix it
Replace synthetic first-person victim narration with your own narration about the case.
Good to know
Typical case: true-crime videos where an AI 'victim' narrates in the first person. Third-person narration about a victim is fine.
