We rely on YouTube community members to report or flag content that they find inappropriate. Reporting content is anonymous, so other users can't tell who made the report.
What happens after I report content?When content is reported, it’s not automatically taken down. Reported content is reviewed along these guidelines:
To check if a video that you reported has been removed, you can view your Report history.

Note: When you report a channel, we don’t review the channel’s videos. We use the videos that you may attach to your report to understand more about the channel, but we don’t check the videos for violations.

If you think that a channel’s specific videos violate our policies, you should report the specific videos.
