Regulation is Coming to YouTube, and It’s Going to be Ugly

YouTube, which has battled repeated negative headlines in the last two years, published new terms of service for its users in the European Union and Switzerland last month. Hardly anyone noticed.  The rules beef up the power of the video sharing platform to remove access to users who cause harm to the reputation of the service, or harm its users. … Today, the new rules came into force across 29 countries — and at a stroke YouTube became fractured.  Users who access the platform from different corners of the world — the site has around 100 localized versions worldwide, covering 95% of the internet’s users, except China, where the ruling Communist party’s censorship was seen as too difficult to comply with — all see different versions of the site already.
