YouTube Cracking Down On Gun Videos
From Bearing Arms:
On Monday, he tweeted, “Just a heads up to firearm YouTubers. It is now against community guidelines, meaning you will get a strike, to insert a 30 round magazine into a gun. YouTube considers that a ‘weapon modification.’ I am not joking.”
Small YouTube Gun Channel Demonetized
From Bearing Arms:
This is going into the second month now, because it was just arbitrary. As I said, I was completely monetized. And I was getting all my videos barely reviewed and approved. And then I guess one of the reviewers, that’s probably anti-gun [started reviewing my content].
YouTube Continues Crackdown On Gun Channels
From Bearing Arms:
So, YouTube appears to have informally implemented a new, unspoken policy (i.e., I could not find this in the content guidelines) whereby it will demonetize videos which aren’t shot in a “controlled environment†such as a “shooting range.â€
This raises a lot of questions, not the least of which is:
How does YouTube determine what usage is improper? Is there someone at YouTube with proper training on safe gun handling who will implement these policies?*
How will they know when someone is in a “controlled environment†or not, and who has the authority to reach that conclusion?
Is a shooting range, in fact, safer and more “controlled†than the creator’s private property such that this policy needs to be implemented, to begin with?
