Embed & Copyright Policy
Last updated: April 23, 2026
What we embed
wire.report articles sometimes include video and social-media posts embedded from third-party platforms. Our policy is narrow by design:
- YouTube: videos from an allowlist of official league, broadcaster, team, and verified media channels, rendered via YouTube's official privacy-enhanced iframe (
youtube-nocookie.com). - X (Twitter): posts from an allowlist of official league, team, broadcaster, verified journalist, and athlete accounts, rendered via X's official blockquote + widgets.js embed.
- Everything else: linked out via a thumbnail and a "Watch on [platform]" button. We do not live-embed content from sources outside the allowlist.
What we do not do
- We do not host third-party video files on our servers. Embedded media is served by the originating platform.
- We do not re-encode, re-host, or redistribute rightsholder footage.
- We do not claim any license, sublicense, or transfer of rights in embedded content.
- We do not strip attribution. Every embed displays a source line with the original publisher, date, and a link to the original post.
Attribution format
Every embedded video or post carries a caption in the form: "Embedded from [platform]: @[handle] · [date] · View original →". The link points to the original post on the originating platform.
If an embed disappears
When an X post or YouTube video is deleted, made private, or has embedding disabled by its uploader, the embed on wire.report will gracefully fall back to a static thumbnail with a link to the original URL. We revalidate live embeds weekly.
Takedown requests
Rightsholders can request removal of any embed via our copyright / DMCA page. We respond within 24 hours on business days, and we maintain a three-strikes repeat-source denylist.
