YouTube updates terms on facial data collection, monetisation, and tax on US earnings
5 hours ago
YouTube on Wednesday notified its non-US users that it is updating its Terms of Service on the collection of facial recognition data, the company’s right to monetize, and tax-withholding on US earnings. The new terms will take effect on 1 June 2021 for users outside the US. YouTube notified a similar update to US users in November 2020.
What are the changes?
1. Facial recognition restrictions: Although the terms already state that you cannot collect any information that might identify a person without their permission, it did not specifically mention facial recognition information. The updated terms make that explicitly clear.
