YouTube will give banned creators a ‘second chance’ after rule rollback

YouTube's new pilot allows banned creators to apply for fresh channels after a one-year wait, excluding copyright violators, reflecting a shift in COVID-19 and election misinformation policies.

  • YouTube announced a new program that allows some terminated creators to request a new channel due to changes in policy.
  • Only accounts terminated for at least one year or for policies no longer enforced are eligible for the program.
  • YouTube emphasized that not all types of channel terminations would qualify, particularly those involving severe violations of community guidelines.
  • Creators can see an option to request a new channel upon logging into the YouTube Studio, yet those with recent violations will need to wait a year before reapplying.
