11. FLAGGING
If a user feels that a video contains inappropriate content and
violates the Community Guidelines, they can “flag” or report
it and alert YouTube.
You need to be signed in to flag.
The YouTube team then reviews flagged videos 24 hours a
day 7 days a week. Only once a video is reviewed will a
decision be made as to whether it should be removed from
the site or not.
12. SAFETY & ABUSE TOOL
For content like hate speech, impersonation and harassment,
users may wish to report content other than videos.
An assult
Dangerous items like explosives or weapons
Most nudity not allowed (uploading an image of someone partially clothed or without clothes)
Violent content can be acceptable where it is done to educate, document & inform the community
OK to upload images from a trip to the beach. This is from Carnivale in Rio!
Hate speech: hateful content directed towards a protected group. It is not OK to demean or insult people because of their race etc.
