This video discusses YouTube's December 2019 livestream policy changes, which prohibit the physical handling of firearms during live broadcasts. The speaker, Eric from Iraqveteran8888, explains that the policy aims to prevent the platform from being used to livestream violent acts, citing the New Zealand shooting as a potential catalyst. While acknowledging potential unintended consequences for firearms content creators, he suggests the impact may be less severe than feared, with removed livestreams likely allowing for restarts rather than account strikes.
This video discusses YouTube's updated community guidelines in 2020, specifically prohibiting live streams that show individuals holding, handling, or transporting firearms. Host Hank Strange explains that while pre-recorded footage or images of firearms are permissible if clearly identified as such, live handling will result in video removal, and potentially strikes against the creator's channel. The policy is attributed to incidents where live streams were used to commit atrocities, but Strange expresses concern over its broad impact on responsible firearm owners and content creators, viewing it as a form of segregation and suppression of Second Amendment advocacy. He urges viewers to diversify their online presence, support alternative platforms, and stay informed about evolving content policies.
