On 5 January 2022, we're updating our Terms of Service ("Terms") to help  
clarify and make it easier to understand what to expect as you use the  
service. These changes won't affect the way you use YouTube. You can review  
a summary of the changes and the updated Terms here

At a glance, this update covers:
* More clarity on what to expect: We're providing more transparency about  
how we develop, improve and update our service, including more details  
about why we make changes and updates and the advanced notice that we  
provide to you.
* General updates for improved readability: While our Terms remain a legal  
document, we've done our best to make them easier to understand. This  
includes reorganising some sections (such as Account Suspension and  
Termination) and rewording others (such as Changing this Agreement).
* Inclusion of the Community Guidelines strikes process: Your use of  
YouTube has always been subject to the Community Guidelines and its strikes  
process, but we're now explicitly including the Community Guidelines  
strikes
