YouTube drafting ‘creator-on-creator harassment’ rules after Steven Crowder incident
YouTube is working on new policies to prevent “creator-on-creator harassment” that it will announce in the coming weeks, the company said today. The announcement was made by Youtube’s Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan, who briefly spoke about the issue at YouTube’s VidCon keynote this evening, where both creators and industry insiders were gathered in Anaheim, California.
The news didn’t come with any concrete details about what those policies will actually look like, but YouTube considers them to be “just as important to the YouTube community as any product launch.” The Verge has reached out to YouTube for further information about these policy changes.
