YouTube has implemented new safety measures to protect young users, particularly teenagers, from harmful content. The platform will now limit the promotion of videos that focus on body image and physical attributes for teens. This decision was influenced by suggestions from an advisory committee, which highlighted the negative impact such content can have on teens' self-perception. YouTube will also revise its Community Guidelines to protect minors from harmful content. Additionally, crisis resource panels will be launched in European countries to provide support for users dealing with issues related to suicide and self-harm.
