YouTube bans insults based on race, gender expression and sexual orientation.

YouTube’s policy updates address other harassment behaviors as well.

The company will now suspend members of its YouTube Partner Program for channels “that repeatedly brush up against our harassment policy,” meaning they will no longer be able to make money off the platform. YouTube may also consider removing content from the channel and potentially terminating the channel if the behavior continues.

Why is everyone comparing this to MySpace

Whatever...twitter, facebook, Instagram and all the other fucked up social media sites run by worthless millenials said the same thing yet, it continues

In other words, less freedom of speech for me (conservative) but not for thee (liberals and progressives). Right YouTube ?

So in other words they will make sure leftists are free from getting their feelings hurt by us evil conservatives. Insults by leftists will still be allowed.

Bitchute, Minds and Gab are where the research is at. YT died long ago.

Super lies by mainstream media they are constantly ridiculing people by race. Mainstream media are the biggest racist hate pushing organization of the world all you guys should be arrested for your hate speech laws as you want..

Kind of sad to look back and see how revolutionary YouTube was in the mid to late 2000’s only for its own ridiculous guidelines to destroy itself. YouTube will destroy itself and won’t be around. Like MySpace

And who decides what’s malicious? And what about rap music videos? Censorship. I’m sure there are plenty of others waiting in the wings to kick YouTube off its platform. It won’t be long now.

Still occupied Now go spread your fakenews elseware

abe carry ka banega curry

*Unless you’re targeting white, Christian, conservatives...then it’s fair game.

Soooooo your gonna remove basically all the presidential videos? imjustsayn

Has YouTube ever seen YouTube?

This will be fun. Malicious insults happen to me daily. I normally just go about my business. But, thankfully YouTube is going to make everything better. Sigh. Life just got easier everybody!! Yay!

How long has youtube existed?

So they get to cancel people for making jokes, is how this will shake down. Prepare to get cancelled for saying '72 genders...'

So the young turks will get their channel suspended?

It's a shame we have to force people to behave like civilized adults. Thank You YouTube for protecting me.😥😀

gemmaod1 good riddance 🤣🤣🤣😀😀😀😀🤣🤣🤣🤣😀😀😀😀😀😁😂😂😀😁🤣🤣😂😀

no longer allow anyone on its platform to post content that “maliciously insults” others based on race. oh well, let's just hope they enforce this for insults of white race as well. great! starting with TalbertSwan and his use of the term 'Wypipo' yes?

I guess Trump Supporters won't be using YouTube any more They just banned White Supremacist Rhetoric

Good now get rid of the Prager U ads and reich wing ads posing as 'shows' that do not warn people they are being exposed to scam political propaganda.

Wonderful lol 😂 not really

Goodbye Rap Battles! (They're actually done with love.)

What ever happened to, “Sticks & Stones.......”, I guess if you convert the populace into a bunch of unarmed pussies, they’re easier to subdue & keep in line. Freedom of speech is 1st, then freedom of ideas, & finally the thought police are roaming the streets.

But what do they deem malicious? If someone disagrees with their views is that going to be malicious? YouTube YouTube

They left out political ideology.

What about Wendy Williams calling Kris Jenner 'that whoeman'?

At least you can still mock crippled people.

Youtube, the new government. bitchute

And the 1A slips into oblivion. Fortunately, there are those who will protect 1A, using 2A if necessary.

The crazy liberal cat lady running YouTube will decide what you see or don't see! Communism folks

watching out for counter suits

Cool, now do targeted political advertising...

Luckily being a douchbag isn't a protected trait, yet.

About time

Lol, there goes YouTube.

You cant 'insult' people? Wth

Lol! The don't hurt my feelings generation.

So comedy is cancelled?

And Religion?

Wow! That would be great! Won't they lose at least half their political revenue gained from the vids posted by the GOP and right wing politicians and pundits worldwide though! I'm skeptical....

Cool

So when a Leftist randomly uses the word racist like normal people use the word disagree, Tweeter will do nothing.

Gaaaaaaay

restrictions in press = malicious acts

gay

How will those poor racists, homophobes and sexists cope?!

That includes Trump rallies?

Will they allow us free speech to insult Morons and FakePresident ? Maybe the same....

Finally.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Unless the race is white, gender is male. And orientation is straight aka normal

Keep reposting this and I’ll keep pointing out that white supremacist channels still exist on the site, and so TeamYouTube and SusanWojcicki obviously know this policy is a lie.

It's good that Twitter doesn't do that NBC or Matt Lauer accusers wouldn't have a place to reported about it.

so its become sterile ?

TYT has whole news segments that malign white people. Will they still be allowed to post content?

this is part of narrative creation. it's software, changing any one thing is usually easy. They present it as a fait accompli because they hope it reduces competition for viewers.

So PC

So yeah, they'll just delete accounts arbitrarily... like before ... nothing new ... good luck suing them and getting your account back. 👍

How will the alt left continue with their spewing of hatred?

Well there goes freedom of speech on another platform but we knew it was coming until they censor everything except what fits the Socialist agenda

Can’t post trump rallies

Bye - Bye Internet.

It shouldn’t be this hard.... should it? Good on them for standing for decency. It’s in short supply these days.

YouTube = fascist

Oh cool, no more free speech.

Welcome to 2019 - YouTube - why would you allow crap like that to begin with 🤷‍♂️

Well that means Crowder and Shapiro have just lost their platforms, huh?

Uh huh sure. I’m sure that’ll be fair across the platform. I’m sure Late Night hosts will be excluded or anyone else with millions of followers. They follow their own rules abaout as well as Twitter and Facebook.

So redneck fails are still okay? AskingForAFriend

so there will be like 11 videos left

Anti free speech morons....YouTube is only an extension of MSM now anyways....

So they're banning Pewdiepie... I'll believe it when it never happens!

GeorgeTakei Y'all, if you wanna be assholes to strangers, both Reddit and 4Chan still exist so

GeorgeTakei Looking for all the idiots complaining about their 'first amendment rights' so I can use them to show my kids how not to act

One of my favorite youtubes is gay, and makes ironic gay jokes in parody of actual insults. So if someone claims his jokes offend them without understanding (or finding it distasteful) it will be removed, ignoring context?

kinsellawarren Why do we have 'protected traits'? Harassment is harassment.

So are they going to be banning both music and comedy from the site ? Perhaps those two groups can go with .The sky is blue. The grass is green . I cannot say anything else because YouTube is mean .

What are they going to do about the trolls who threaten people who haven’t swallowed the trumpy kool aid? Waits...

Lies

LMAO the fact it was ok or tolerated for this long.

I applaud this move, but as a software developer myself, this is a VERY difficult problem to solve with an algorithm. Let's hope there aren't too many friendly fire incidents. 👀 at any YT channel that creates historical content.

What about stand up and freedom of speech

GeorgeTakei Now to implement this. They need a real easy to use/find 'report' feature

GeorgeTakei Hello FB?!

Now it's your turn Twitter Facebook WhatsApp StopHate

About time

That’s stupid on gender expression anyways!

But we have no problem letting others eat themselves to death, right YouTube?

GeorgeTakei

How about anti refugee?

Alright

GeorgeTakei About damn time

Trump may never get back on there.

When a woman says “men are pigs” will that get taken down?

Well, goodbye most good standup comedy.

GeorgeTakei Wouldn’t it be nice if Twitter did something like that?

Freedom of speech 😘

Good. glad trump is still fair game, since criminals can still be addressed on you tube

This whole debacle cries out for FCC involvement

Fuck YouTube

GeorgeTakei Yup and it'll be about as effective as the mess here, watch

GeorgeTakei *unless they are made my the President Right YouTube?

Lol MAGAs and Cuntservatives are gonna be pissed off 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Does that include all the snide nasty remarks hurled by the liberal democrats, or just another way to censure conservative users⁉️

Great for YouTube! There really is no room for hate in free speech. And I don’t care which race, religion, nationality, gender, status or age. Hate speech has to get removed from social media and the media.

Whats a good alternative to youtube?

Maybe focus on taken down Onision instead of taken down funny jokes :) I remember when the internet didn’t care about those jokes but now their are triggered little babies who can’t take a single joke but ya keep a known predator on there 🤦🏻

We’ll see

does that mean they will now protect White people to?

Saying and doing are different. 🤨

GeorgeTakei So much for comedy!!!💩💩💩

Hopefully not just contents in English.

Unless you are straight and white. Fire away.

And i beheld a white horse and unto him was given a bow and a crown.He went forth conquering and to conquer. A bow 'launches' arrows. Crown is given to an heir or a prince. A white horse John seen through me. The fifth horse with the saints is Jesus and prophecy has many meanings

GeorgeTakei luisjgomez . You ain’t malicious are you doggy?

The rules won't apply to jimmykimmel. The rules won't apply to Trevornoah. The rules won't apply to StephenAtHome.

How do you define this

GeorgeTakei Glad it only took until 2019

GeorgeTakei Good! It’s about time.

R.I.P. YouTube

Thanks for ‘raising the bar!🇨🇦🇯🇲⚖️

Weird... religious insults are okay?

Omg. So now YouTube is going to turn into nothing but trolling tattle tales

Wrong

So YouTube hates the constitution. Got it.

Don't hold your breath on this pronouncement.

Oh, so nobody wold be allowed to insult, white , heterosexual, Christian , men...... Hurray

It’s about time! Shut that shit down YouTube.

1984. Slippery slope. Who’s opinion is behind these decisions?

🤔 what will scrowder talk about now?🤔 I know....coffee mugs😬

As morally sound as this idea is, censorship of any kind is a danger to freedom of speech and democracy...

Why's is take so long to figure out basic decency?

Maybe this should have always been the case?

In other words, YouTube does not support the first amendment?

Wouldnt equality mean that whites are protected from greens from malicious insults? How will this be enforced? By holding up a color chart to the victims and culprits?

Huh? Who will determine if it is 'malicious'?

So no more attacking whites and men from the left? I doubt it.

So who decides what races are protected? I hope this includes all races.

Jokes have been banned on YouTube.

Heil Comrade goodbye constitution.

What Snow Flakes

Don't worry conservatives are still fair game.

YouTube is finished it is time for another platform like bitchute

What do you mean 'no longer '

Where does whitey fit in this

Really, I want to see this happen. I bet it is not possible. Censorship, first start if dictatorism.

When u have activists Hillary bots like Susan running youtube, u can expect that. The platform is finished.

SMH

Good

YouTube has officially become a “safe space” how pathetic

We'll see.

So now stating facts will be considered malicious? Absolutely ridiculous!

Is Susan Wojcicki a woman?

Everybody get bitchute

Excellent. Great decision.

Big brother

America, land of the Free home of the protected trait

We all know how fairly this will be enforced.

Unless they are straight white Christians?

Well there goes the GOP platform of attacking women. Trump should be the first person band by these rules.

So late night TV hosts gonna lose thier channels? Of course not because they shill for the establishment..

To all the idiots saying this breaks the first amendment: That's not how the first amendment works. A company has the right to control whats on its platfotm. Do I think this is a bad idea? Yeah, but mostly because Youtube is terrible at fairly enforcing these things.

They are just words omg🙄 people. Who cares what people say? Does action not mean more than words anymore.

jazmineulloa riiiggggghhht

That eliminates Trump and the GOP.

Is being a white male also a protcted trait....or are they now the target?

You may no longer make fun of men that act like like women.

I saw a Christian bashing video posted today

So just don’t use YouTube

But just people right? I better not see any rappers videos up or I swear I’ll report (to no avail). Boy it’s a good thing Q folk don’t discriminate and hate anyone, because I’m pretty sure this whole thing is a reaction to people waking up and spreading the message.

I wonder if they dare define “sexual orientation”.

youtube if this was true you already would have yanked every rap song that makes disparaging comments about white people. Including Nick Cannon's new one 'Pray For You'.

Will you protect Christians? Caucasians? Men? Who decides? Is there a rule book somewhere? FreeSpeech

YouTube comment sections are equally cancerous.

YouTube needs to go away

Not including whites, males and heterosexuals.

An unofficial state religion is being established, and it isn't anything like the old ones.

leesgirl9 Freaking finally

Protecting snowflakes ❄️

Who decides what is an insult?

I identify as a conservative Christian. Protect me father youtube.

Susan needs to be jailed

O look more fascist oppression from the left !

Good, now fix your algorithms

Translation if you insult anyone's race but white people. Also if you have negative comments on pedophiles or transgenders then you will be banned as well. Say bye bye to the videos that expose pedo corruption. Sick bastards want to cover up these sick pedophiles. LGBTQP family

Unless you’re white and/or Christian

YouTube considers everything a malicious insult except extreme liberal views so this will be fun to watch.

Time for a good modern book burning hey? 😪

In other words let's help get rid of trump. YouTube Facebook et el all guilty of a biased censorship. Shameful

Good!

Yeah no more Trumbster bots….

So...just like Twitter.

about danm time

Straight White Male 👇

Shorter: We will protect our fellow leftists at all costs.

They don’t allow penises either

getwokegobroke time to ditch youtube for other platforms

Stay persistently busy comrade.

Fascism! All heil Hitlertube

So no YouTube of anything Trump! That's good news

This should turn out well.

And they wonder why people don't trust any movement

YouTube is becoming CorporateTube.

YouTube, do you know what FREEDOM of speech is? Any speech. Hopefully someone will create a platform that is not censored. Funny thing is, you put something against LGBTQ community or other religion other than Christian, you are blocked. The other way around is not true.

Sound as like we a government platform...but nonetheless a moral and sound policy.

But if you're against white people and stopping Trump from re-election, then welcome! YouTube YouTubeIsOver

Big Brother YouTube will correct wrong thinking and give you your approved thoughts. Stay to the left or be banned. War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength wrongthink winston google youtube

We need other platforms. Youtube can be for the sensitive types.

So another words censorship

More censorship more making of sissies

Unless it's against whites or Christians. That type of malicious insults are still A-ok to the marxist left.

Hmm. What does that do to satire? Sounds like a slippery slope. I hope they distinguish between clear hate speech and satire.

Ah, the cults are spreading their wings and preparing for flight! It’s understood that 2% of the population is sexually different than the natural species Producing duos. Consequently they enjoy freedom from derision, eh? I am a big man, 6’5” & 280lbs. Thus I receive many taunts

So Trump will no longer appear on that platform. What a good news!!!

Wow add your FakeNews and people will get even dumber youtubeisoverparty WalkAway from TheDemocrats FakeNewsCoupsLiesAndHate

Finally! Insulting somebody for being a white male won't be okay.

Well there goes 98% of 'rap' careers..😂

You Tube had better keep Biden clips off...remember his comment about black kids being 'roaches'?

Without universal suffrage, these people never gain an inch. With universal suffrage - complete monopoly of power. Or do you think media, education, entertainment and government, all wanting the exact same outcomes, is normal?

So what YouTube is saying. They are closing their doors soon to the competition. If people can still post hate shit towards Christians, Jews, Trump supporters and Orange man bad topics. Than their idea of freedom of speech is selective and is not constitutionally sound.F$'em!

Watch how YouTube tanks in the coming months. Time to build up 1st amendment platforms. Bye bye YourTube, communist platform

YouTube is bias. StopTheBias

You tube will go same way as Myspace

Then go after tariqnasheed

time to mock people for their religion, COME ON!!

Maliciously insults is the key term here, getting rid of actually malicious things is different. That doesn't mean that comedians doing stand up about transgender people is suddenly not allowed. Not allowing something like this would be messed up on all sides.

Woke culture, 100% hypocrisy

So, only leftists allowed, got it.

Correction: Anti-White racism and Christianphobia will continue to be allowed and encouraged.

Their comment sections is what's really off the hook

Good. Now we can all focus our hate propaganda on the political class and have any anti White racist propaganda and anti Christian and anti hetero and anti family propaganda removed off youtube as well. Great news for true equality as opposed to fake double standard equality.

steveblakesr Like 20yrs behind

In other words YouTube will no longer allow comedy, opinions, or free speech. It will basically be late night tv clips

So Black lives matter can not post on YouTube and antifa can not. No professor talking about white males. No femanist or trans people can go on YouTube. Roots the movie clips are banned also. No more atheist channels. No Islamic channels, no Christian or Jews also. Sounds fair!!

Im against discrimination of any kind, however I’m not in the business of taking away someone’s freedom of speech. YouTube is a monopoly and should be broken up. Wouldn’t it be nice if platforms like Facebook and Youtube had some real competition? breakupbigtech

...and disability? It’s also a protected class.

And let the 1st Amendment die, slowly and without fanfare.....

I still hate the Lakers, Go Blazers RipCity

Does that mean YouTube will block realDonaldTrump hate rally's?

No more Blazing Saddles.....

so, no more trump rallies, interviews and general nonsense from the racist on youtube? or just the maga trolls in the comments?

Well I believe that is unconstitutional

Unless you are Antifa. Then that's ok.

As long as freedom of speech is unaffected, LOL.

How about Christians and Christianity? Will it still be OK to insult them? Inquiring minds want to know YouTube

The question should be why were they allowing this to happen.

No big deal. People can do without Twitter, FB, and the Media. Fewer people to read the advertisements.

What about when political leaders insults the entire nation by telling lies or half truths, will Twitter block their accounts too?

Thank you, Obama!

Lame.

Guess we won't be seeing Trump on you tube.

No more fun of any kind and double secret probation for all.

No more cis gender bashing? Praise the Lord! 🙌 finally!!

Unless if it's a disstrack

Does that include attacks on The Last Jedi for having a character with purple hair? Hope so, those people are dicks.

RIPNickCanon

The rise of communism is commencing. The bar which is considered insulting will sink lower and lower so that if anybodies feelings get hurt, no matter the circumstances, you get booted. They don't have the guts to just say, 'I'm better than you'.

Boycott them all liberals

That Susan man-lady is a real tw*t youtubeisoverparty

Arbitrariness

Does that include bashing whites and males? Gayle King would be booted.

So then realDonaldTrump won’t be allowed on I guess

Better get rid of all islam videos

Caving to the SJW mob instead of the 1st Amendment. Pathetic!

So not free speech. Got it.

So now people can’t post there opinions

Yay censorship!

So, calling a man a man a malicious insult? Beam me up!

So no Stand up comedians I guess

And..... what's wrong with that?

FYI .. disagreeing with a liberal = malicious

I guess people aren’t allowed to have opinions anymore. Everything has to be dictated for us

Finally!

So, leftists can now longer bash people for being white and straight?

Now define insults. Go........

Now do political ads

Can someone facebook

Is this?

Puketube

Bet you can still insult Catholics!

That’s gay.

Unless you are white, Jewish or Christian.

Translation: Communist China is in full control of you tube

Unless the 'insults' are targeting the evil WHITE 'Cis''Cisnormative' (what a moronic term) people who prefer smashin' with the opposite sex (cis, of course). Those scoundrels are fair game. Right, Youtube?

That's gay.

what?

I guess black comics will have to reinvent their comedy now.

Normies are fked.

lol sure

This is bullshit!

Well there goes any comedy videos... let’s all be politically correct!!!

Just an excuse to selectively enforce what everyone is already doing. No different than Twitter. If you're on the wrong side of the political debate you can bet they will use this new TOs against you. If you're on the left - no worries.

Good, no more anti white jokes.

Steven Crowder is a stain on America. Get him banned.

Women as CEOs suck.

funny how the only ones who love banned speech are the ones who are allowed to insult straight white Christian males at all times, but don't you dare say anything against a protected class or else.

I hope this applies to straight white males as well

so Dave Chapelle is banned from YouTube. This is hot garbage.

So BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post and MTV are going to be hit hardest?

Youtube trying to ruin itself. Let the self destruction continue.

Bitchute is growing and getting better. Youtube is on the decline.

So they banned free speech on Youtube. Got it.

Does anyone do YouTube anymore? They screwed all their content providers and every video is cluttered with ads. I only go there if I’m following a link.

However if you’re bashing ole whitey it’s totally cool..... 🙄

Except against straight white mails, they are exempt from protection.

whats , insult , precious....

Don't use Youtube. Use or . Soph is hilarious! YouTube FreeSpeech

No but YouTube allows sex offenders on it

YouTube is dead

So they're going to prohibit free speech? Why not add political affiliation and disability and age?

Don’t worry, white heterosexual males will still be fair game.

But if it's about white people, it's totally fine..

Me love more censorship.

Unless it's done by the left on black, gay and male or female conservatives.

Censorship sucks until it’s time for “them” to censor someone GTFOH

Man is a man and a woman is a woman. Men can't have babies, but babies all, preborn and born need a chance to learn to code.

*anti-white hatred still allowed and your video is added to the recommended list if you do.

Intersectionalism for all!!! NO SIXHIRBS ALLOWED IN...SAYS YOUTUBE. EXORCISEYOUTUBE

Exception: insulting white people, straight people, and males will still be allowed & encouraged, and nobody will ever stop you.

That’s censorship and limiting free speech.

Because that is the weak world we live in...free speech is gone unless your a liberal

So, no more stand up?

Except against white conservatives

2 years later: 'youtube has filed for bankruptcy due to taking too many videos down.'

But what is an “insult?” Oh wait, the individuals feelings. Great. That is how we build a resilient society. We wrap them in “emotional bubble wrap.” What happened to “sticks and stones?”

CancelYouTube

Nope TeamYouTube hasn’t, not as long as channels like Red Ice and VDare are still up. SusanWojcicki is just lying for PR again. CC: slpng_giants

now they acting like those $$holes at Facebook

Cancel culture is cancer inside the first amendment and must be cut out and destroyed

I’m ok with that. If you need to resort to insults using race, gender or sexual orientation you had nothing constructive to say anyway.

Banning insults now? Who gets to define if it’s an insult or not? Things are taken out of context all the time. There are also people who believe stating a fact can be insulting.

What country do we live in again?

You mean barely? LOL!

Good .. Now Focus on the WH Plz .. The insults headquarters 🤷‍♀️

I wonder if this guy is still alive!?

They won’t actually enforce it....

You forgot YouTube snowflakes ban Political and Religious Orientation ! How convenient NBC because NBC hates Christians and Trump voters. NBC is loyal to their Israeli Bolshevik Communist Comrads who have taken over the House of Congress.

So, what you’re saying is freedom of speech is bad? Shouldn’t their be dialog no matter how offensive? How else does society educate? Do we just teach that only niceness wins the day? What else will deemed offensive and banned? Read Fahrenheit 451, or 1984. History is repeating

Also... Twitter is suppressing videos from the IG hearing because they EXPOSE the fraud and treason of the MSM and the Obama administration. Twitter is actively censoring the Truth about the Democratic hoax it helped prop up for the last 3 years.

Hate speech is free speech! No censorship ever!

That’s kinda gay

That's just now happening. !?!? WTF!!!
