YouTube has tightened its rules against online gambling content. The company’s new rules are going to be implemented from March 19. After this, the accounts of those creators who promote unverified gambling apps and websites will be blocked.
Along with this, strict action will also be taken against those creators who show the logo of such gambling services or apps in their content, which have not been approved by Google. These rules will be implemented from next week.
Let’s know why this decision was taken
. Explaining the reason behind this decision, the company said that it will affect creators of gambling content, including casino games and apps, but it has become necessary to do so to protect young viewers. Even now, redirecting viewers to gambling sites and apps on YouTube is considered a violation of the rules, but after the new rules come into effect, if a creator claims guaranteed returns from any such site or app, his content will be deleted.
Age restriction to be imposed on videos: Tightening the rules, YouTube has also decided to impose age restrictions on content promoting online casinos or apps. This means that such content will no longer be shown to signed-out users and users under the age of 18.
YouTube has deleted 2.9 million videos from its platform in India: YouTube is taking strict action against videos that violate the rules. A report said that between October and December last year, 2.9 million videos were deleted for violating YouTube’s community guidelines. This is the largest number of videos deleted in any country in the world.
