YouTube is coming for Premium Family Member crackdown just like Netflix
YouTube will soon start flagging Premium Family accounts where members don’t actually live in the same household as the plan manager.
The message warns that if YouTube’s systems detect you’re not at the same physical address as your plan manager, you’ll lose Premium access within 14 days. Members who are flagged will still stay in the family group but will only be able to watch YouTube with ads unless they contact Google support to verify their eligibility.

Android and Chrome will still be part of Google
- in August 2024, a US district judge deemed Google a monopoly, possibly threatening the company to sell some of its products
- Fast forward a year later, the short answer is: Google will not need to sell Android and Chrome
- Google can also continue to pay to maintain its default position in other products
- However, Google will be barred from exclusive contracts that required companies to preload certain Google services to license Play Store
- Additionally, Google has to share certain search data with qualified competitors to promote competition
