This team focuses on making the experience of being a creator better, through ensuring that business generation policy is something that's easily understood, that is open to change and that reflects the ever-changing world of the creator ecosystem. We work to make the advertiser-friendly content guidelines a set of rules that creators can live with, as well as live by.
