The move comes in response to so-called "challenges" that have sometimes resulted in death or injury.
The Google-owned video sharing site said such material had “no place on YouTube”.
However, the firm appears to be failing to enforce its existing rules on harmful content.
The main thing that caused this ban to be imposed was the "Birdbox challenge", inspired from a scene from the Netflix show of the same name in where it caused one fatality. As if the planking craze from years back was daft enough and many deaths happened from it - all would've been prevented. Oh well, idiots be idots.
