New punishment rules on YouTube
YouTube has updated its “three-strike” system that is used to punish YouTubers who post violating content.
From 25 February, YouTube does not punish for the first rule violation but only obliges users to remove the violating content.
If the rules are violated second time, the user receives a strike and will not be able to upload any content for one week. If one more violation follows within a 90 day period after the second violation, YouTube will give the second strike that means the channel will be blocked for two weeks. The third strike will result in the channel being removed from YouTube.
