Twitter’s Blind Spot: The Rise of Longform Video Piracy
In today’s digital ecosystem, the line between content distribution and content theft is increasingly blurry. While platforms like YouTube have built sophisticated tools like Content ID to help copyright holders monitor and manage uploads, other platforms haven’t kept up.
One of the biggest blind spots today? Twitter, now known as X.
Full-Length Pirated Content: Still Live on X
Over the past year, X has transformed into a video-centric platform, but with that evolution came an unexpected side effect: an uptick in pirated full-length video uploads, sometimes lasting up to 90 minutes.
The issue? X lacks a robust content recognition system, which means pirated videos can often remain up for hours before anyone detects or removes them.
Unlike YouTube, X doesn’t offer an automated content recognition system that matches videos against copyrighted content. As a result, pirated media can spread unchecked – an issue that many copyright holders have yet to address.

This is where WebKyte steps in. WebKyte provides a platform for automated content recognition and rights enforcement, helping to prevent pirated content from harming your brand or bottom line.

WebKyte’s scanning technology ensures that copyright holders don’t have to rely on third-party tools or react to issues after they’ve already spread.
xAI: What's Missing?
Yes, X recently acquired xAI, with promises of a bright AI-powered future. But despite the buzz around AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), the basics of content protection are still lacking on the platform.
For rights holders, this leaves them vulnerable. Pirated content can still spread freely, unmonitored, and unprotected. Until X implements a comprehensive content recognition system, the problem will persist.
