Why Do YouTube Videos Get Blocked?
There could be various reasons behind YouTube’s inaccessibility to your region. These reasons could be geo-blocking to school, college, or organizational restrictions for beating laziness, restrictions put by video owners, and many more. We will discuss a few common reasons why YouTube may be inaccessible:
Network Blocking
YouTube can be a useful resource for students if used accordingly because of its whopping library of educational content available with a single click. On the contrary, it can be a big source of distraction when used just for the sake of watching invigorating and inappropriate content all the time. To curb this problem, many educational institutions and working organizations put network restrictions on YouTube’s entire network accessibility within their vicinity.
Age Restrictions
YouTube enjoys giant viewership on the platform, with roughly 500 hours of content uploaded at any minute. This content could be based on various themes ranging from entertainment, sports, reality shows, cringe game shows, child safety, nudity, sexually suggestive content, vulgar language, or violence.
To keep the youth under 18 from watching inappropriate content, YouTube puts age restrictions on particular videos. YouTube video-sharing guidelines, in particular, state that the platform may place age restrictions on video even if it follows its policies but is deemed unwatchable for kids under 18.
Copyright Violation
To protect the rights of content providers and to keep the illegal distribution of copyrighted content from being misused, YouTube has set out a clear set of rules. If the content violates the platform’s copyright policies, the platform can remove or block such content.
Geographical Restraints
On YouTube, the content provider can set territorial restrictions on their content because of their licensing agreements. The term “geo-fencing” is completely in the hold of the content provider – YouTube doesn’t have any say in this regard. Content owners do this to restrict their content for a particular area. It won’t be accessible in other regions.
Government Censorship
Many countries ban the entire YouTube platform to keep their citizens from accessing unregulated information as they deem it to be harmful and inappropriate. These countries include China, Turkmenistan, Iran, and North Korea. There are also a few regimes that banned YouTube because of religious or political reasons from time to time. In addition, content that includes violation of a particular country’s law and order and criticism of government, rulers, or organizations also gets banned by such countries.
