YouTube is rolling out a feature for previously terminated channels to apply to create a new channel after scrutiny from Republicans and President Donald Trump.
Apparently ban has a different meaning than it used to. I keep seeing dramatic posts about Who-Gives-Shit influencer getting banned from somewhere. The next day or two I see another post about how they’re back.
People have been dropping the preceding adjective. It used to be that temp bans were handed out for first violations or accumulated minor violations, with the severity of the violation dictating whether it was a temporary ban of hours, days, weeks, or months.
Really egregious violations, or a pattern of temp bans not changing the users behavior would trigger a permanent ban.
I also hate the use of “ban” alone to mean temporary. The default use of “ban” should, does, mean permanent. If it’s temporary, it should be specifically conditionalized as such. I don’t really know when this started or how we got here, but it’s fucking annoying.

The temp adjective has been dropped for a decade or 2 which is why permabans have been called permabans not just bans.
