YouTube启动试点, 让一些被禁止的创作者在新频道下返回, YouTube launches pilot to let some banned creators return under new channels, targeting past COVID and election misinformation bans.

YouTube已推出一个试点计划, 允许先前遭禁创作者申请「第二次机会」, 从2025年10月9日起使用新频道返回。 YouTube has launched a pilot program allowing some previously banned creators to apply for a "second chance" to return using new channels, starting October 9, 2025. 该倡议的对象是那些根据现已取消的政策,禁止传播过时的COVID-19或选举错误信息的人,不包括侵犯版权和严重违反政策的人。 The initiative targets those banned for spreading outdated COVID-19 or election misinformation under now-defunct policies, excluding copyright violations and serious policy breaches. 合格的创作者必须重建其受众,并遵守现有的社区准则,不恢复原有渠道或订户。 Eligible creators must rebuild their audiences and meet current community guidelines, with no restoration of original channels or subscribers. 此举是在政治审查以及与唐纳德·特朗普就 2021 年停职达成 2450 万美元的和解之后做出的。 The move follows political scrutiny and a $24.5 million settlement with Donald Trump over his 2021 suspension. YouTube将逐项审查每项请求,评估以往的违规行为和潜在损害,但没有披露具体的资格标准或受影响用户的数量。 YouTube will review each request individually, assessing past violations and potential harm, but has not disclosed specific eligibility criteria or the number of users affected.
