[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] YouTube terms of Service

[jjrudy1 at comcast.net]

I just received an email stating that their terms of service are changing in
December.  The new form is very long and I have no idea what the previous
one said.

 

Has anyone taken the time to really understand what is new?  In Europe this
happened on July 22, 2019 and I think that the US change merely takes what
was done for Europe and makes it global.  The words below are not really
easy to understand.

 

Here is what I have found (I quote)

 

"We've provided a
<https://www.youtube.com/t/terms?preview=20190722#summary> full summary of
changes but in short:

*	Improved readability. While it's still a legal document, we've done
our best to make the Terms clearer and easier to understand.
*	Improved transparency and communication. We've added some useful
links to help you navigate YouTube, including links to our
<https://support.google.com/youtube/topic/9223153> policies. We've also
included additional commitments to let you know about changes that may
affect you, such as future changes to the Terms or the service.
*	Your Content. We've clarified the content license you grant us to
make it easier to understand. We're not asking for additional permissions
and there's no difference in how we're using your content.
*	Our product today. We've made some updates to better reflect the way
YouTube operates. For example, we've removed outdated descriptions and
provided helpful details about our service with links to the Help Center.
*	Age requirements. We've clarified the age requirements to reflect
our  <https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1350409?hl=en> Google wide
policies. If you're under 18, you must always have your parent or guardian's
permission before using YouTube."
