We’re excited to learn through this initial launch and to continue improving the program over time, as we’ve done with our Trusted Flagger program.

Why flagging matters

Thursday, September 15, 2016

Community Guidelines

Over 90 million people have flagged videos on YouTube since 2006 - that’s more than the population of Egypt - and over a third of these people have flagged more than one video.

As YouTube grows, the community continues to be very active in flagging content: the number of flags per day is up over 25 percent year-on-year.

Community flagging on YouTube is international: People from 196 countries have flagged a video. The five countries with the most accurate flagging rates are: Indonesia, Turkey, Germany, Ukraine and France.

We’re also continuing to strengthen our policy enforcement processes: In 2015 alone, we removed 92 million videos for violation of our policies through a mix of user flagging and our spam-detection technology. While we are vigilant and fast in removing terrorist content and hate speech, it's worth noting that it actually represents a very small proportion of the content that violates our guidelines - those two violations account for only 1 percent of the videos removed in 2015.
