A music video for Kanye West’s latest single, All of the Lights, has been reinstated on YouTube despite claims it can trigger epileptic seizures. The video was taken down yesterday after UK charity Epilepsy Action warned that extensive use of flashing imagery in the video could cause seizures in some people. The video now carries a warning at the beginning that highlights the risks to people with photosensitive epilepsy.
The music video for Kanye West’s latest single, All of the Lights, has been taken off YouTube following fears it could cause epileptic seizures. The move comes after UK charity Epilepsy Action yesterday warned that the extensive use of flashing imagery in the video could cause seizures in some people.
Epilepsy Action contacted Kanye West’s agent, YouTube and other online sources of the video to ask that they take it down. The video can no longer be viewed on YouTube and has been replaced by a message saying ‘this video is no longer available.’
