YouTube Rolls Out New Policy Changes

According to a report in WebProNews, the video sharing site YouTube says it will no longer treat users “who upload three videos that violate the Community Guidelines over the span of a year the same as someone who uploads those same videos over the course of a week.” YouTube says its new policy will lift penalties against users who violated its terms of use after six months and that violators “have been given a clean slate.” The new rules do not apply to copyright violations, which do not expire.
