Maybe Microsoft shouldn't have auto upload as default. Or they can disable recording on specific scenes like what PS 4/5 do. Kinda weird punishing users for their incompetence

"Sorry guys, I can't play with y'all anymore since I uploaded that clip of Astarion getting pounded by a bear"

Just maybe they shouldn't auto-upload stuff, or properly tag content coming from M rated games as M rated.

It would cut into 10 year olds feeling peer pressure to get into GTA though I guess.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

It's these spicy scenes, however, that are causing Xbox Live to ban users when their devices automatically record and upload them.

In an interview with Kotaku, Daddy-Vegas said that the bans on his account were implemented "in 30 seconds with no warning or chance to correct the error" after his lewd clip uploaded automatically.

Xbox issued a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, where it recommended users turn off the "auto-upload" feature when they think they are coming up on sensitive content.

Sensitive content can be found practically every second of Baldur's Gate because the game allows players to remove all their clothes at any point.

"If this was a first offense, for example, we will remove the suspension and let players know why it happened and how to avoid future issues (e.g. how to turn off auto-upload when sensitive content is being captured)."

Xbox added that a moderator views each clip for violations of its safety and content policies before taking action.

So Xbox is turning into Nintendo and just gonna be "family friendly" now?

That burned them in the Kinect days. Phil had a big hand in correcting that so I would hope he has enough sense not to let it happen again.

Sounds like XBox is a console for children and not for adults...except I bet its parental controls for microtransactions are scant.

This is how walled gardens are bad.
