This is the best summary I could come up with:
YouTube is updating its harassment and cyberbullying policies to clamp down on content that “realistically simulates” deceased minors or victims of deadly or violent events describing their death.
In recent months, content creators have used AI to narrate numerous high-profile cases, including the abduction and death of British two-year-old James Bulger, as reported by The Washington Post.
There are also similar AI narrations about Madeleine McCann, a British three-year-old who disappeared from a resort, and Gabriel Fernández, an eight-year-old boy who was tortured and murdered by his mother and her boyfriend in California.
YouTube will remove content that violates the new polices, and users who receive a strike will be unable to upload videos, livestreams or stories for one week.
The new changes come nearly two months after YouTube introduced new policies surrounding responsible disclosures for AI content, along with new tools to request the removal of deepfakes.
The company warned that users who failed to properly disclose their use of AI will be subject to “content removal, suspension from the YouTube Partner Program, or other penalties.”
The original article contains 344 words, the summary contains 177 words. Saved 49%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I wonder if the changes are retrospective and Google bans those responsible for content that have led to the change.
Yt typically retroactively applys policy changes. For a semi recent example look at the drama around rte games. They pretty much nuked his entire channel when they implemented their recent asinine no swearing rule due to hum being a sweary Irish man.
