YouTube has updated its impersonation policy which will roll out later this year. As per the new policy, fan channels should make it obvious that they don’t represent the original creator or entity.
YouTube has updated its impersonation policy to make things harder for accounts that try to impersonate popular creators and channels on the platform. The video-sharing platform now requires fan accounts to explicitly declare that they are not associated with the channel or person they are trying to celebrate.
„If you operate a fan channel, you have to make it obvious in your channel name or handle that your channel doesn’t represent the original creator, artist or entity,“ the company said in a post spotted by 9to5Google.
