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.
