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.
