YouTube recently updated its terms of service for the year 2021. YouTube New User Agreement is expected to offer more user protection, clearer communication and more transparency to its users. This article aims to discuss the key changes in the new YouTube User Agreement.

Firstly, YouTube has updated its hate speech policy and promised to remove content that promotes hatred against various groups based on their age, gender, race, sexual orientation and other factors. The platform has also put in place new policies to prevent the spread of harmful content and misinformation, including conspiracy theories, which are potential harmful content to users.

Furthermore, YouTube has made a few changes to its advertisement policies. Advertisements that promote harmful content or violate the platform`s community guidelines will be removed, and the creators behind such content will no longer be able to monetize their videos. Additionally, YouTube now requires all creators to provide more information about their audience demographics, including age, gender, and interests.

Moreover, YouTube is providing more transparency with its algorithm. The platform will now release periodic reports on how it recommends content and the impact of those recommendations on viewers. This is aimed at helping creators on the platform to understand how their content may get discovered or promoted to viewers, or even the feedback from viewers on the videos they watch.

Additionally, YouTube has made changes to its copyright policies. The platform`s new agreement gives users more information on how the platform deals with copyright claims. Users can contest copyright strikes that they feel are incorrect, and YouTube has put in place a more transparent system for creators to know which copyright claims they need to address.

Overall, YouTube`s new User Agreement is a positive move towards protecting users from harmful content and providing more transparency and clearer communication between the platform and its users. The platform`s commitment to promoting user safety is a welcome initiative, and we hope to see more of these positive changes in the future.
