In the notifications, YouTube cited their "advertiser-friendly content guidelines,"^[7] which contain a several controversial prohibitions (shown below).

Content that is considered inappropriate for advertising Content that is considered "not advertiser-friendly" includes, but is not limited to: . Sexually suggestive content, including partial nudity and sexual humor .Violence, including display of serious injury and events related to violent extremism . Inappropriate language, including harassment, profanity and vulgar language Promotion of drugs and regulated substances, including selling, use and abuse of such items Controversial or sensitive subjects and events, including subjects related to war, political conflicts, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown

That day, YouTuber Philip DeFranco tweeted the YouTube would be removing most of his monetization, adding that he was "not going to censor" himself (shown below).^[8]
