YouTube prepares to welcome back banned creators with "second chance" program
"This program appears much broader than Google's letter to Jordan suggested. YouTube will now allow any banned creator to request reinstatement, but this is separate from appealing a ban. If a channel is banned, creators continue to have the option of appealing the ban. If successful, their channel comes back as if nothing happened. After one year, creators will now have the "second chance" option."
"The readmission process will still come with a review by YouTube staff, and the company says it will take multiple factors into consideration, including whether or not the behavior that got the channel banned is still against the rules. The site will also consider factors like how severe or persistent the violations were and whether the creator's actions "harmed or may continue to harm the YouTube community.""
YouTube will allow almost any creator previously banned from the platform to request a new channel as a second-chance option after one year. Appealing a ban remains a separate process; successful appeals restore the original channel. Notices for the new-channel option will appear in YouTube Studio on desktop and Google plans to begin sending them in the coming months. Creators terminated for copyright violations are ineligible for the program. Requests will be reviewed by YouTube staff, which will consider whether the behavior that led to the ban remains against the rules, the severity and persistence of violations, and whether the creator harmed or may continue to harm the YouTube community. The policy change is likely to bring many previously banned creators back to the platform.
