Google’s video platform will be more compromising when allowing videos with violent content. Policy change
YouTube has announced a policy change around the videos posted on the platform as of this December 2. Google’s video service, as picked up by the support page through a statement, will be more permissive when it comes to allowing video game content with violent content; Now they can be monetized like any other content.
In this way, content creators who share videogame videos "with scripted or simulated violent content will be treated in the same way as other types of content." The great G recognizes that these types of videos do not correspond in any way to reality, that there is a difference between the world in which we live and the world of electronic entertainment "as happens in movies, television series and video games" .
There will still be filters and restrictions, but not as aggressive
This has an immediate effect on youtubers specialized in video games. From that date, this past December 2, all the content uploaded to the platform of this type will no longer depend on an approval or age restriction, but should be consented without problems. Likewise, the previous restrictions are reduced in the light of the policy change, although they warn that they will keep special attention to protect the audience from these violent contents.
Therefore, they end up saying that "we will maintain an age restriction if the images represent only violence or gore content." They exemplify with videos whose sole purpose is to show violence graphically. Appearance of violence yes, videos focused exclusively on representing violence no.
These are not the only recent changes on YouTube. From our technology website, BeTech, collect the new look of the page, which opens a new look on mobile phones and PCs with some more visual information. Finally, the new channel closure policy has also stood out in recent weeks if they cease to be profitable.
