NOTE:I do agree that the TOS changes are stupid. Now we can't swear on youtube anymore? That is just stupid.

I'm pretty sure many people know about this, but if you don't, read past this text.

On September 1st, 2016, there was a change to the TOS (Terms Of Service) of Youtube. Called the"Advertiser Friendly Guidelines".

Seems pretty normal, right? Well, you'd be wrong.

These are the advertiser guidelines:

Sexually suggestive content, including partial nudity and sexual humour.

Violence, including display of serious injury and events related to violent extremism.

Inappropriate language, including harassment,profanity, and vulgar language.

Promotion of drugs and regulated substances, including selling, use, and abuse of such items.

Controversial or sensitive subjects and events, including subjects related to war, political conflicts,natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown.

These guidelines have to be followed or the monetization on a video will go away. Demonetizing the video.

You may be confused, but the 3rd guideline and 5th guidelines are what are causing most of the controversy. People are saying you can't swear on youtube anymore and now you can't talk about anything anymore.

This petition is to convince Youtube to change or remove these advertiser-friendly guidelines.

I have put a link to a video discussing the recent TOS changes.
