Respond to enforcements

If your content was affected by an enforcement that you disagree with or think is a mistake, you have options to respond.

The process for responding to an enforcement depends on what action was taken on the content. For example, the process for responding to a Community Guidelines action is different from responding to an age restriction on your video.

Use the list below to learn more about the enforcement that affected your content and how you can respond.
