YouTube Bans Insults That Target Race, Gender Or Sexual Orientation

YouTube is enhancing its policies to curb toxic interactions by banning veiled threats and demeaning language related to race, gender, and other protected attributes. This applies to all users, including creators and public figures. The policy update follows scrutiny from a harassment case involving journalist Carlos Matzo and commentator Steven Crowder. YouTube initially did not act against Crowder but later suspended his monetization. The enforcement of these policies is challenging, and Matzo criticized YouTube for vague policies and inconsistent enforcement.
