YouTube Announces Ban on Dangerous or Prank Movies

In addition to giving people entertainment and learning knowledge, YouTube is also a platform for YouTuber to dream and make money. However, in order to become famous and make money, many people do not hesitate to take clicks and interactions with dangerous behaviors. The previous Tide Pods laundry ball and the recent Bird Box blindfold challenge are just a few examples. These so-called "challenges" are extremely dangerous and widely spread and have a negative impact on netizens.


Many netizens sneered at dangerous challenges and mischief on the Internet, such as viral rumors. On the 16th,YouTube finally stood up and said no to these behaviors. YouTube’s new policy clearly states that in addition to consistently prohibiting the listing of harmful or dangerous content, the policy also covers mischief that can lead to serious bodily harm, such as spoofing into other people’s homes, shooting at speed or causing emotional distress in children. Some of the above-mentioned prank videos are taken by popular YouTubers and even professional stunt people, but if the creators do not explicitly indicate them, it is easy to cause misunderstanding.
YouTube will give a 2-month grace period to allow YouTuber to remove the content in question and will not take action restrictions during this time. Recently, the Bird Box challenge of the Internet is very popular. A 17-year-old American girl has a kind of learning, blindfolded driving a pickup truck, and finally caused a serious traffic accident. Fortunately, no casualties were caused. The Utah police later accused the perpetrators of being irresponsible. And YouTube will also take a similar movie from Jake Paul.
