Legal policies

You can report content for policy violations and legal violations. 

Report a policy violation

YouTube has community guidelines and privacy guidelines. These guidelines outline the type of content that is and isn't allowed on YouTube. To facilitate a content review, you should report content that violates these policies before you submit a legal request.

If you find content that you think violates YouTube's community guidelines, report it. If you find content that you think violates YouTube's privacy guidelines, you can file a privacy complaint.
