YouTube has decided: the famous video channel has just changed the rules relating to the publication of movies and content containing weapons. Recent attacks have led to this result and the web platform has been forced to review their policy. In practice, it was decided to avoid videos promoting the sale of firearms and their accessories, to be precise through the direct sales (private) or through links that refer to the same topic.
Prohibited accessories include devices that simulate automatic fire or the conversion of the weapon to automatic (e.g. hand crank triggers). The same goes for instructions on the production of weapons, ammunition, magazines, silencers or other accessories. So neither films will be accepted in which instructions for simulating automatic fire are explained or convert the weapons themselves. The indications are very clear and you will not be able to go wrong.
The novelty closely follows the recent massacre that took place in the American school of Parkland, an institution in which 17 people lost their lives. Several channels dedicated to weapons have already disappeared, while others have been subjected to content censorship. In addition, there are also those who have found "hospitality" in another website, no less than the porn site PornHub.
