programmes
We recognise the value of partnering with organisations to identify and fight harm online. From the Child Safety Toolkit to the Priority Flagger Programme, learn about some of the voluntary partner programmes we run at Google and YouTube.
Priority Flagger Programme
Prioritising flags from partners
Our Priority Flagger Programme provides channels for participating organisations to notify us of potentially harmful issues on certain of our products and services that violate our policies and community guidelines. Partner entities will generally have access to:
- A dedicated intake channel used to inform us of potential policy violations which will be reviewed at priority
- Ongoing discussions and feedback about Google and YouTube content policies
Our review process
Our moderators review flags by Priority Flaggers according to our community guidelines and policies. Issues reported by Priority Flaggers are not automatically removed or subject to any different policy treatment – the same standards apply to user flags. However, because of their high degree of trust and expertise, our teams prioritise flags from Priority Flaggers for review.
Teaming up with expert organisations
Our programme is most suitable for organisations such as NGOs and government agencies with an identified expertise in recognising and fighting harm online in at least one policy area. We also look at whether an organisation has the capacity to submit requests and its enthusiasm to work together on these issues. We expect flaggers to be objective while flagging, and pay due respect to human rights.
