YouTube bans gun conversion tutorials
By Ali Breland - 10/09/17 05:45 PM EDT YouTube is banning videos that show viewers how to modify guns to make them more deadly like bump stocks, one week after the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas.
The company says that the decision is an expansion of a pre-existing policy it has against “harmful and dangerous content."
“We have long had a policy against harmful and dangerous content,” a YouTube spokesman said in an emailed statement. “In the wake of the recent tragedy in Las Vegas, we have taken a closer look at videos that demonstrate how to convert firearms to make them fire more quickly and we’ve expanded our existing policy to prohibit these videos.”
