YouTube Content Restrictions Undermine Tobacco Harm Reduction Efforts.
A recent video from Regulator Watch discusses the content restrictions on YouTube and its impact on the vaping community.

On December 6th, regulatorwatch.com released a new video discussing how content restrictions implemented by YouTube could weaken efforts to reduce the harm caused by tobacco. YouTube considers electronic cigarettes to be potentially appealing to minors, so creators sharing any such content without new and clear guidelines could face the risk of having their entire channel deleted.

The decision of the platform was viewed by top YouTube vaping video blogger GrimmGreen as "ignorant." According to RegWatch, he overcame restrictions and saved his hugely popular YouTube account with 400,000 subscribers and over 80 million video views. Learn about the remarkable details of what happened, as well as the great efforts undertaken by friends and fans to keep GrimmGreen on YouTube.


According to VapingPost, electronic cigarette advocacy groups like the New Nicotine Alliance (NNA) have successfully fought for the rights of e-cigarette reviewers to continue sharing their views and opinions with others in the e-cigarette community, even as the TPD threatens to ban cross-border marketing.
