YouTube Announces Major Crackdowns On Skin Gambling And Violent Gaming
"YouTube is overhauling its community guidelines to more strictly moderate gambling and violent gaming content. The massive Google-owned video platform will soon ban links to online skin casinos and other cosmetic gambling sites. It'll also age-restrict videos featuring certain violent imagery like the kind you might see in any standard playthrough of blockbuster video games like the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6."
""We're expanding our enforcement to now cover online gambling with additional items that have monetary value, including digital goods (e.g. video game skins, cosmetics and NFTs)." "Content that depicts, promotes, or facilitates social casino sites will now be age-restricted." "We will age-restrict an additional small subset of video game content featuring realistic human characters that focuses on scenes of torture or scenes of mass violence against non-combatants.""
YouTube is tightening community guidelines to more strictly moderate gambling and violent gaming content, with changes effective November 17. The platform will ban links to online skin casinos and other cosmetic gambling sites and will expand enforcement to include digital goods such as video game skins, cosmetics, and NFTs. Content that depicts, promotes, or facilitates social casino sites will be age-restricted. An additional small subset of video game content featuring realistic human characters that focuses on torture or mass violence against non-combatants will also be age-restricted. Gambling content advertising third-party services for virtual items may be banned or require case-by-case approval.
