Ghost guns videos have become more popular as the technology gets more sophisticated.
YouTube announced this week it will place new restrictions on the types of gun-related videos that can appear on the video-sharing platform, including a ban on videos that directly promote the sale of firearms and new 18+ restrictions on videos about 3D printing guns. And, as you can imagine, people who create 3D-printed weapons, often referred to as ghost guns, are not happy about any of it.
The creator behind Print Shoot Repeat claims in the video that according to YouTube’s analytics, people under the age of 18 made up just 1.4% of the viewers on his channel. Gizmodo couldn’t independently verify those numbers. The creator says that it doesn’t matter if his channel loses people under the age of 18 since most viewers are adults.
