JAKARTA YouTube is changing the way appeals work for channels or channels that will be suspended from the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). This change will make it easier for creators to appeal. Previously, all creators could file an appeal after their channels were suspended from the YPP. However, starting last Wednesday, July 31, all creators could appeal before their channels are suspended by YouTube. "We will allow creators to appeal the suspension of YPP related to certain policy violations before the suspension applies," Rob, a Google employee on the YouTube Team, said through the Help page. Rob added that this policy change could provide additional information to the Trust and Security team YouTube to consider channel suspension. This new policy will also avoid creators from monetization interference.

When creators get a warning that their channel will be suspended, they will get seven days to appeal before the suspension is made. The deadline for the appeal period can be seen on Earn Hub via YouTube Studio. If the appeal has been filed, the YouTube Trust and Security team will review its report indefinitely. The user channel will not be suspended as long as YouTube has not announced whether they will accept or reject the appeal. Rob explained that this policy is still being implemented in stages. "This will not be available for all suspensions initially, but we hope to expand it over time."
