YouTube Tightens Policies on Online Gambling Content
YouTube is tightening its policies on gambling content, prohibiting creators from verbally referring to unapproved services, displaying their logos, or linking to them in videos, effective March 19th. The new rules may also restrict online gambling content for users under 18 and remove content promising guaranteed returns. This update aims to protect the platform's community, particularly younger viewers.
- The move highlights the increasing scrutiny of online platforms over the promotion of potentially addictive activities, such as gambling.
- Will this policy shift impact the broader discussion around responsible advertising practices and user protection on social media platforms?
