<p>YouTube on Tuesday clarified rules against posting videos of dangerous pranks, as risky "challenges" prompt people to video themselves doing things like biting into laundry soap or driving blindfolded.</p>

<p>The company already forbid content inciting dangerous activities likely to result in serious harm.</p>

<p>But the clarifications "make it clear that challenges like the Tide pod challenge or the Fire challenge, that can cause death and/or have caused death in some instances, have no place on YouTube," the company said in a blog post.</p>

<p>"We've made it clear that our policies prohibiting harmful and dangerous content also extend to pranks with a perceived danger of serious physical injury," said YouTube, which like other social networks is trying to show that it is better tackling problematic content.</p>

<p>It made clear the updated policies ban pranks that trick people into thinking they are in danger, such as fake home invasions or drive-by shootings.</p>

<p>"YouTube is home to many beloved viral challenges and pranks, like Jimmy Kimmel's 'Terrible Christmas Presents' prank or the water bottle flip challenge," said YouTube, owned by Google's parent Alphabet.</p>

<p>"That said, we've always had policies to make sure what's funny doesn't cross the line into also being harmful or dangerous."</p>

<p>While playful or goofy challenges or pranks have become raging trends online, with video shared at YouTube or Facebook, some "memes" have put people in jeopardy.</p>

<p>A "Fire Challenge" dared people to put a flammable liquid on their bodies then ignite it, while a "Tide Pod Challenge" involved people, typically teens, biting or chewing the encapsulated candy-coloured&nbsp;laundry detergent.</p>

<p>A "Bird Box" thriller released on Netflix a month ago inspired a challenge for people to do things blindfolded, mimicking characters in the original streaming film.</p>

<p>A US teenager over the weekend crashed while driving with her eyes covered, taking part in a challenge inspired by the hit Netflix show, according to media reports.</p>

<p>YouTube policy also bans pranks that cause children trauma, for example, the fake death of a parent or severe abandonment, according to the firm.</p>

<p>Accounts that post videos violating policies on pranks will get a "strike" that will limit some features such as live streaming.</p>

<p>A second strike within three months will result in even more limited use of YouTube, while accounts getting three strikes in that time period will be terminated.</p>

YouTube updates rules on pranks as risky memes rage

<p>After a massive success of Netflix film <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/netflix-says-bird-box-seen-by-more-than-45-million-accounts-this-is-what-it-means-187674">‘Bird Box’</a> starring Sandra Bullock, the OTT platform has now issued a warning to its fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film features Bullock as a woman who takes care of two children, one adopted and one her own while dealing with a threat in an apocalyptic world. The film’s central theme is that for people to survive, they have to close their eyes and not look at what haunts them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the people in the film stay blindfolded,&nbsp;it started an online trend #BirdBoxChallenge where fans try to enact some banal routine work while keeping themselves blindfolded. This, in real life, has led to some accidents worldwide with many getting injured.</p>

<p>Netflix has in response to this, tweeted an advisory, asking them to dissuade from doing this as it is harmful. Netflix wrote: “Can’t believe I have to say this, but: PLEASE DO NOT HURT YOURSELVES WITH THIS BIRD BOX CHALLENGE. We don’t know how this started, and we appreciate the love, but Boy and Girl have just one wish for 2019 and it is that you not end up in the hospital due to memes.”</p>

Netflix issues warning against #BirdBoxChallenge as people injure themselves worldwide

<p>One series that has currently caught the fancy of almost all people in the world, is Sandra Bullock’s ‘Bird Box’. With memes on stills from the Netflix film doing rounds on the internet to Twitter trends on the topic, ‘Bird Box’ which is listed as a horror film, is doing great among its fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Netflix has now announced that the film has so far been seen by more than 45 million accounts, in just seven days. Netflix made the announcement on December 28, so we are safe to assume that the number has only increased since then.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While many of you will find the number a tad exaggerated but let us break it down for you. 45 million accounts do not translate to specific viewer counts, as an account could serve one person or an entire family. It also doesn’t specify if they saw the film from start till end, or whether they switched in the middle of its streaming to something else.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A spokesperson for Netflix revealed: “Once a view surpasses 70 per cent of the total running time (including credits),” it is then counted. Furthermore, “each ‘account’ may include multiple views and viewers but is only counted once.”</p>

<p>This means that at least 45 million people have watched at least 70 per cent of ‘Bird Box’. Considering that people may have watched Bird Box with friends or family, chances are that the total view count may be even higher than 45 million — especially given that ‘Bird Box’ was released globally.&nbsp;</p>
