Therefore it was important to present a simplified definition and explanation of what YouTube is, the extent of its impact on the youth of both the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the reasons behind the spread of its use among young people, with a focus on the rankings of frequently-visited channels and a clarification of some of the reasons for youth attachment to this program aside from others, along with comparisons between the two communities (HKJ and KSA) to see the worst and best case in terms of the duration of use, reason for use, its impact on societies, whether we reached the degree of risk to use it, explain the mechanism involved in monitoring how to access and control the Internet, whether there are confrontations between the two communities and their respective governments on the use of YouTube. The dimensions of the research were determined scientifically and practically for the two communities depending on the statistics that resulted from a detailed analysis of the results of questionnaires using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software on both of the two communities with different age and academic groups with the use of graphic representation to illustrate the results better, identify the variables and data in the research, come up with recommendations and results that are useful for both communities in terms of the ethics of the use of YouTube and the extent of the rapid spread of crime through YouTube programs and its impact on the world of electronic and social media.
