YouTube prohibits nudity, dangerous activities, hate speech, harassment, cyberbullying, violence, child safety issues, misleading thumbnails, copyright infringement, impersonation, spam, and scams.
Recently, YouTube introduced a new tool. It makes content creators disclose if they use generative AI or other altered media. This ensures viewers know when content is not real.
