YouTube has announced that it is removing videos that show people eating or pretending to eat Tide packets as part of a challenge that has become viral on the Internet.
While common sense dictates that we should never ingest anything that’s toxic, there are those who have become obsessed with eating or pretending to digest the colorful Tide Pods.
The trend has become worrisome that some stores have already locked up Tide Pods, according to a Mashable article.
Enforcement of Community Guidelines
A spokesperson for YouTube told Mashable that the removal of the Tide Pod Challenge clips is not a change in policy but is meant to prohibit dangerous content.
“YouTube’s Community Guidelines prohibit content that’s intended to encourage dangerous activities that have an inherent risk of physical harm,” the spokesperson said.
“We work to quickly remove flagged videos that violate our policies.”
