YouTube Creators can now take a training course to remove warnings they earned by violating the website's Community Guidelines.
. Put simply, if a creator breaks YouTube’s Community Guidelines more than three times, their channel and content could be removed from the platform.
The trouble here is that YouTube is something of a black box when it comes to determining what is and isn’t acceptable content. That’s not to say there aren’t clear lines being drawn but when you get to the edge cases things become less clear. “We’ve designed each training course to provide creators with more clarity about the type of content that violates our policies. For example, take a creator who posts a video meant to educate about sexual health, but we determine it violates our Community Guidelines because it lacks sufficient context under our nudity and sexual content policy. Previously, we’d remove the video and apply a lifetime warning to the channel.
What is encouraging is that rather than receiving a blanket warning when a community guideline is violated, creators will now receive warnings that refer to the specific policy that has been violated.There has long been a call for YouTube to separate content based on age restrictions and we have a feeling that this could solve a lot of the headaches these Community Guidelines create.
