The tool was previously limited to members of the YouTube Partner Program, journalists, and politicians. The expansion makes it available to a much wider group of creators globally.

Team YouTube stated that the goal of the initiative is to provide creators with 'peace of mind'. The Verge reported on the expansion, which is expected to roll out in 2025.
