    The article's headline is misleading; YouTube isn't banning that material, they are simply restricting them a very small amount.  You'll have to use the 'confirm age' function more often, and those videos won't be added to "most viewed" or "top favorites" sections.  But they'll still allow them to be uploaded.  This may not have much of an effect on FBB/female muscle vids, I suspect it was added to cut down on the large number of 'cam girl' videos that get uploaded.

    And I like the part about randomizing the thumbnails and monitoring the tags, which should help cut down on unwanted results when searching for videos, and also stop people from using misleading thumbnail images for their videos.  That was starting to become pretty annoying of late.

    Typical red-top sesationalist headline that refers to a long-overdue move by Youtube.
