1: Policies and Safety

When you use YouTube, you join a community of people from all over the world. Every cool, new community feature on YouTube involves a certain level of trust. Millions of users respect that trust and we trust you to be responsible too. Following the guidelines below helps to keep YouTube fun and enjoyable for everyone.

You might not like everything you see on YouTube. If you think content is inappropriate, use the flagging feature to submit it for review by our YouTube staff. Our staff carefully reviews flagged content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to determine whether there’s a violation of our Community Guidelines.

Nudity or sexual content

Explicit content meant to be sexually gratifying (like pornography) is not allowed on YouTube. Videos containing fetish content will be removed or age-restricted. In most cases, violent, graphic, or humiliating fetishes are not allowed on YouTube.

If you find content that violates this policy, please report it. Instructions for reporting violations of our Community Guidelines are available here. If you find many videos, comments, or a creator's entire channel that you wish to report, visit our reporting tool.

Sexually explicit content featuring minors and content that sexually exploits minors is not allowed on YouTube. We report content containing child sexual abuse imagery to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who work with global law enforcement agencies.

  What this means for you

  If you're posting content

  Don’t post content on YouTube if it fits any of the descriptions noted below.

  • Content uploaded with the intent to shame, deceive or insult a minor. A minor is defined as a person under the legal age of majority. This usually means anyone younger than 18 years old, but the age of a minor might vary by country.

  Exceptions

  We may allow content that includes harassment if the primary purpose is educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic in nature. This is not a free pass to harass someone. Some examples include:
  • Debates related to high-profile officials or leaders: Content featuring debates or discussions of topical issues concerning people who have positions of power, like high-profile government officials or CEOs of major multinational corporations. 
  • Scripted performances: Insults made in the context of an artistic medium such as scripted satire, stand up comedy, or music (e.g. a diss track). Note: This is not a free pass to harass someone and claim “I was joking.” 
  • Harassment education or awareness: Content that features actual or simulated harassment for documentary purposes or with willing participants (e.g. actors) to combat cyberbullying or raise awareness.
  Note: We take a harder line on content that maliciously insults someone based on their protected group status, regardless of whether or not they are a high-profile person.

  Monetization and other penalties 

  In some rare cases, we may remove content or issue other penalties when a creator:
  • Repeatedly encourages abusive audience behavior.
  • Repeatedly targets, insults and abuses an identifiable individual based on their intrinsic attributes across multiple uploads.
  • Exposes an individual to risks of physical harm based on the local social or political context.
  • Creates content that harms the YouTube ecosystem by persistently inciting hostility between creators for personal financial gain.

  Examples

  Here are some examples of content that’s not allowed on YouTube:
  • Repeatedly showing pictures of someone and then making statements like “Look at this creature’s teeth, they’re so disgusting!”, with similar commentary targeting intrinsic attributes throughout the video.
  • Targeting an individual based on their membership in a protected group, such as by saying: “Look at this filthy [slur targeting a protected group], I wish they’d just get hit by a truck.”
  • Using an extreme insult to dehumanize an individual based on their intrinsic attributes. For example: “Look at this dog of a woman! She’s not even a human being — she must be some sort of mutant or animal!” 
  • Depicting an identifiable individual being murdered, seriously injured, or engaged in a graphic sexual act without their consent.

• 7: Copyright on YouTube

• What is copyright?

  In many countries, when a person creates an original work that is fixed in a physical medium, they automatically own copyright to the work. As the copyright owner, they have the exclusive right to use the work. Most of the time, only the copyright owner can say whether someone else has permissions to use the work. 

• >> Common copyright myths

  Below are some common misconceptions about copyright and how it works on YouTube. Keep in mind, doing the following won’t prevent a copyright claim against your content.
  Myth 1: Giving credit to the copyright owner means you can use their content

  Giving credit to the copyright owner doesn’t automatically give you the rights to use their copyrighted work. Be sure to secure the rights to all unlicensed elements in your video before you upload it to YouTube. If you’re relying on fair use, even if you add original material to someone’s copyrighted work, your video may not qualify, so be sure to carefully consider all four factors and get legal advice if needed.
• Myth 2: Claiming “non-profit” means you can use any content
  Not trying to make money off copyright-protected work doesn’t stop copyright claims. Declaring your upload to be “for entertainment purposes only” or “non-profit,” for example, is not enough by itself. When it comes to fair use, Courts will look carefully at the purpose of your use in evaluating whether it is fair. “Non-profit” uses are favored in the fair use analysis, but it’s not an automatic defense by itself.
• Myth 3: Other creators do it, so you can too
  Even if there remain videos on the site that appear similar to the one(s) you’ve uploaded, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have the rights to post the content as well. Sometimes a copyright owner authorizes some, but not all, of its works to appear on our site. Other times, very similar videos are owned by different copyright owners, and one may grant permission while another does not.
• Myth 4: You can use content you purchased on iTunes, a CD, or DVD
  Just because you purchased content doesn't mean that you own the rights to upload it to YouTube. Even if you give the copyright owner credit, posting videos that include content you purchased may still violate copyright law.
• Myth 5: Content you recorded yourself from TV, a movie theater, or the radio is ok
  Just because you recorded something yourself does not always mean you own all rights to upload it to YouTube. If what you recorded includes someone else's copyrighted content, such as copyrighted music playing in the background, then you would still need to get permission from the appropriate rights owners.
• Myth 6: Saying “no copyright infringement was intended”
  Phrases and disclaimers such as “all rights go to the author,” “no infringement intended” or “I do not own” don’t mean you have the copyright owner’s permission to post the content -- nor do they automatically mean you are making fair use of that material.
• Myth 7: It's fine to have just a few seconds of copyrighted content
  Any amount of unlicensed copyrighted content used—even if it’s just for a few seconds, may result in your video getting claimed by Content ID or taken down by the copyright owner. You can argue fair use, but you should understand that the only place where a fair use determination can be made is a courtroom.

• 8: Protecting your identity

  We want you to feel safe when you're on YouTube, which is why we encourage you to let us know if videos or comments on the site violate your privacy or sense of safety.

  If someone has posted your personal information or uploaded a video of you without your consent, you should contact the uploader and ask them to remove the content. If you can’t reach an agreement with the uploader, or if you're uncomfortable contacting them, you can request to have the content removed based on youtube Privacy Guidelines. 

  Criteria for removing content

  Our Privacy Guidelines provide a detailed explanation of our privacy complaint process and the factors we take into account when evaluating privacy claims.

  For content to be considered for removal, an individual must be uniquely identifiable. If you want to use the privacy complaint process, make sure that you are uniquely identifiable within the content you seek to report before proceeding. When assessing if an individual is uniquely identifiable, we consider the following factors:

  • Image or voice
  • Full name
  • Financial information
  • Contact information
  • Other personally identifiable information

  When you report a privacy complaint, we consider public interest, newsworthiness, and consent as factors in our final decision.

  Tips on how to protect your privacy on YouTube:

  • Think carefully before you post personal information. This includes things like the town you live in, where you go to school, and your home address.
  • Protect your account data and don’t share your password with others. YouTube employees will never ask you for your password. Don’t be fooled if someone contacts you pretending to be from YouTube.
  • Get permission first. As a rule of thumb, you should get permission before filming other people or posting their personal information.
  • Visit our Privacy and Safety Settings page for a list of tools that you can use to manage your content and experience on the site.
  • Check out best practices for keeping your Google account secure.
  • Stronger security for Google account: Keep your accounts secured through 2-step verification.

  • 9: Policy on impersonation

    Content intended to impersonate a person or channel is not allowed on YouTube. YouTube also enforces trademark holder rights. When a channel, or content in the channel, causes confusion about the source of goods and services advertised, it may not be allowed.

    If you see content that violates this policy, please report it.

    • If you feel that yours or another creator's channel is being impersonated, please visit our reporting tool.

    What these policies mean for you

    If you're posting content

    Don’t post content on YouTube if it fits any of the descriptions noted below. 

    • Channel impersonation: A channel that copies another channel's profile, background, or overall look and feel in such a way that makes it look like someone else's channel. The channel does not have to be 100% identical, as long as the intent is clear to copy the other channel.
    • Personal impersonation: Content intended to look like someone else is posting it.

    This policy applies to videos, video descriptions, comments, live streams, and any other YouTube product or feature. Please note this is not a complete list.

    Examples

    Here are some examples of content that’s not allowed on YouTube.

    • Channels with the same name and image as another channel, with the only difference being a space inserted into the name or a zero replacing the letter O.
    • Using someone else's real name, user name, image, brand, logo, or other personal information to trick people into believing you are that person. 
    • Exactly matching a channel description to another channel.
    • Setting up a channel using the name and image of a person, and then pretending that person is posting content to the channel.
    • Setting up a channel using the name and image of a person, and then posting comments on other channels as if they were posted by the person.
    • Channels claiming to be a “fan account,” but actually posing as another’s channel and reuploading their content.
    • Channels impersonating an existing news channel.

    Please remember these are just some examples, and don't post content if you think it might violate this policy.

    What happens when content violates this policy

    If your content violates this policy, we’ll remove the content and send you an email to let you know. If this is your first time violating our Community Guidelines, you’ll get a warning with no penalty to your channel. If it’s not, we’ll issue a strike against your channel.
