YouTube Updated its 'Three Strike System' |
The Google owned video sharing website YouTube has just updated its Community
Guidelines Strike System almost after 10 years. This is the first time that the
site has updated its policies after 2010 that can lead to a channel being terminated.
“We’re updating the way we give Community Guidelines strikes to a new, simpler
system. We’ve worked with creators to understand what’s working and what’s not
and you told us that consistent enforcement, clear policies, and transparency
about the impact of a strike are most important. So we’re introducing more
opportunities for everyone to understand our policies, a consistent penalty for
each strike, and better notifications", the popular video sharing site
said in its Creators blog.
The updated strike system gives relief to the first time offenders as, if the
channel violates the Community Guidelines for the first time, they will be given a "one time
warning", but the particular video will be taken down.
But if the channel is seen violating the community guidelines for the second
time, the new 'three strike system' will jump in.
What is the YouTube’s new 'Three Strike System’?
YouTube has framed a new 'Three strike System' which pays attention on
punishing the frequent offenders.
- If you receive a first strike on your channel, your channel will be frozen and you will not be able to upload a new video on your channel and also could not live stream. This strike will end in 90 days.
- If you commit a second strike within that 90 days period, after the first strike, your channel will be frozen for two weeks.
- And if you commit a third strike in the same 90 day period from the first strike, your channel will be liable for termination, means your channel will be shut down by YouTube.
What according to YouTube stands as Violation?
YouTube says that it is treating all the rule breaking equally. Thus, if you
break a copyright, or post a video that is hateful or in any other way violate
the YouTube Community Guidelines, you are liable for getting a strike.
YouTube in its Creators blog also explains that 98 percent of its users do not
violate any community guidelines and 94 percent of those who do receive a first
strike, never get a second one. The new system will be applicable from 25th
February 2019.
