Community Guidelines for YouTube
1. Be a Good Citizen. Be Responsible.
- Be responsible. Be a good citizen.
- YouTube is not for kids under 13.
- Get to know the community guidelines: what is allowed and what is not.
- 3 strikes for violating the guidelines will result in disabling your account and you will
not be able to open a new one.
- Flag videos that break the rules.
- Keep comments clean. Be respectful, even if you don’t agree.
- Respect copyrights. If you don’t own it, don’t post it.
2. Respect Yourself and Others.
- If you feel unsafe about something that is happening on YouTube, tell an adult and
check the Safety Center to learn about ways to help yourself.
- Remove insulting comments.
- Block users who harass you.
- Click on the “Hide Objectionable Words” option next to the text comments to make
offensive words disappear.
- Do the “Grandmother test” before you post: if there is something you wouldn’t want
your grandmother to see, think twice before you post it.
- Sexual content is not allowed on YouTube.
3. Privacy Matters.
- Make your personal videos private and share them only with people you trust.
- Don’t post personal information.
- YouTube will never ask for your password, email address or other account
information. Don’t trust someone who asks you for this information.
- If you come across a video that violates your privacy, contact the person who posted
it and let them know. If they don’t remove the video, report it.
- Make sure you have permission before you post someone’s face in a video.
- Posting someone’s personal information without getting permission could get you
kicked off of the site.
