YouTube has outlined a new series of punishments that creators will face if they embrace harmful content: in addition to having their advertising suspended, creators will also be dropped from recommendations and premium categories such as YouTube Originals. These sanctions will last until the user removes or alters the offensive material.
The moves come at a time when the site is making a much more concerted effort to raise the overall quality of what is posted and shared and viewed by millions of people every day, after repeated accusations that it has facilitated a range of bad actors, from people peddling propaganda to influence elections, to those who are posting harmful content aimed at children.
