Did anyone read the article to see what types of videos Google is taking action against?
> YouTube will ban videos that offer instructions on how to make firearms and accessories such as silencers and bump stocks. It will prohibit content in which firearms and accessories are sold, both directly and through other websites. Videos on how to install firearms modifications will also be barred.
> While we've long prohibited the sale of firearms, we recently notified creators of updates we will be making around content promoting the sale or manufacture of firearms and their accessories, specifically, items like ammunition, gatling triggers, and drop-in auto sears.
- en4bz 9y agoThe channel mentioned "Forgotten Weapons" is mostly filmed at auction houses since it's the best place to find a lot of old guns in the same place at one time. As part of his arrangement with the auction centers the creator plugs the upcoming auction for the guns he is reviewing and links it in the description. This would probably be against the rules.

- mastax 9y agoIn addition to en4bz' point Forgotten Weapons almost always disassembles the gun being discussed to show how it works. This could be construed as showing 'how to make guns'. They may be technically allowed, but try convincing an algorithm or non-expert poorly-paid censor that.
