Harassment \u0026 cyberbullying policies

The safety of our creators, viewers, and partners is our highest priority. We look to each of you to help us protect this unique and vibrant community. It’s important you understand our Community Guidelines, and the role they play in our shared responsibility to keep YouTube safe. Take the time to carefully read the policy below. You can also check out this page for a full list of our guidelines.

We recently announced some updates on our harassment policy to better protect creators and users. The policy below has been updated to reflect these changes.

Content that threatens individuals is not allowed on YouTube. We also don't allow content that targets an individual with prolonged or malicious insults based on intrinsic attributes. These attributes include their protected group status or physical traits.

If you find content that violates this policy, report it. Instructions for reporting violations of our Community Guidelines are available here. If you've found multiple videos or comments that you would like to report, you can report the channel. For tips and best practices to stay safe, keep your account secure, and protect your privacy, check out this Help Center article.

If specific threats are made against you and you feel unsafe, report it directly to your local law enforcement agency.

What this policy means for you

If you're posting content

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

Content that features prolonged name calling or malicious insults (such as racial slurs) based on their intrinsic attributes. These attributes include their protected group status, physical attributes, or their status as a survivor of sexual assault, domestic abuse, child abuse and more.

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

Other types of content that violate this policy

Revealing someone’s private information, such as their home address, email addresses, sign-in credentials, phone numbers, passport number, or bank account information.

Note: This doesn't include posting widely available public information. Public information can include an official’s office phone number or the phone number of a business.

Content that incites others to harass or threaten individuals on or off YouTube.

Content that encourages abusive fan behavior such as doxxing, dogpiling, brigading or off-platform targeting.

Content that targets an identifiable individual as part of a harmful conspiracy theory where the conspiracy theory has been linked to direct threats or violent acts.

Content making implicit or explicit threats of physical harm or destruction of property against identifiable individuals. 

Note: “Implicit threats” include threats that don’t express a specific time, place or means, but may feature weapon brandishing, simulated violence and more. 

Content posted by vigilantes restraining or assaulting an identifiable individual. 

Content that depicts creators simulating acts of serious violence against others (executions, torture, maimings, beatings and more).

Content featuring non-consensual sex acts, unwanted sexualization or anything that graphically sexualizes or degrades an individual.

Content that displays or shows how to distribute non-consensual sexual imagery. 

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