According to CBS News, YouTube will now remove any videos that hurl insults at people based on race, gender expression, sexual orientation or other “protected attributes.”

It said it would also ban any content containing veiled threats of violence.

YouTube further announced that it would henceforth, penalize channels that are guilty of repeatedly harassing others in videos.

The comment section on YouTube is also not left out. YouTube’s comment section is also getting a fresh set of new guidelines.

The setting can be turned off by creators at any time.
