YouTube To Step Up Suppression Of Videos That Don’t Violate Any Rules, Promote News Outlets

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


YouTube is going to increase its suppression of “borderline” videos that don’t actually violate any of its rules or policies, while ramping up its promotion of “authoritative” sources.

YouTube announced Wednesday the increased tilting of its platform toward “authoritative” sources and away from “borderline” videos on its official blog, alongside a slew of other changes.

Much of the ensuing media coverage focused on YouTube’s announced crackdown on “hateful and supremacist” videos, which the tech giant also announced Wednesday.

“In addition to removing videos that violate our policies, we also want to reduce the spread of content that comes right up to the line,” YouTube explained in the unsigned blog post.

The change follows a pilot program YouTube launched in January, where the tech giant suppressed “borderline content and harmful misinformation, such as videos promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, or claiming the earth is flat.”

YouTube is now expanding the pilot program to include more “borderline” videos while giving a boost to “authoritative” sources.

“Our systems are also getting smarter about what types of videos should get this treatment, and we’ll be able to apply it to even more borderline videos moving forward. As we do this, we’ll also start raising up more authoritative content in recommendations, building on the changes we made to news last year,” the blog post stated.

“For example, if a user is watching a video that comes close to violating our policies, our systems may include more videos from authoritative sources (like top news channels) in the ‘watch next’ panel,” it continued.

The change came the same day that YouTube announced it was demonetizing conservative comedian Steven Crowder’s channel, citing a number of inflammatory statements Crowder had directed at Vox writer Carlos Maza.

YouTube cited “egregious actions that have harmed the broader community” in suspending Crowder.

YouTube also announced Wednesday it was “strengthening enforcement of our existing YouTube Partner Program policies. Channels that repeatedly brush up against our hate speech policies will be suspended from the YouTube Partner program, meaning they can’t run ads on their channel or use other monetization features like Super Chat.”

      Why do people support you tube? Before Its News should set up ‘OUR TUBE’, or ‘My Tube’. I don’t use Google. I use ‘Start Page’.
      Just my opinion.

      What about that flat earth videos ban? Ha Ha, so the world is flat and all globers are in the Matrix of lies created by the Vatican/Copernicus/catholic so called astronomer, Fake NAZI Scientists/NASA and all astroNOTS are Masons/ high masons. So we know they are NOT the purveyors of truth, but lies. The real kicker is that youtube actually operated all these years CARTE BLANCH, didn’t monitor ANYTHING. So much TRUTH has been exposed, unbelievable true information. And the capstone of their attack is flat EARTH and 911 being an inside job by Bush, Bush, Zionists and company. So if 911 was inside job and it was an inside job and anyone investigating the matter for any period will hit pater on that reality then; all bets are off and the world is flat, with an enclosed translucent dome, hardest surface known to man, nuclear bombs were repeatedly blasted at in the late 50′s to no avail and the highest glass ceiling was not broken, a very high ice mountain ridge surrounds the circumference of the flat earth and it is the REAL South pole. UN and all government official logos have a flat earth in the design in your face. William Casey ex C.I.A director in 1981 made the statement “WE’LL KNOW OUR DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN IS A SUCCESS WHEN EVERYTHING THE PUBLIC BELIEVES IS FALSE” SO TRUE. EXCEPT THOSE WHO HAVE WOKEN FROM THEIR LIES. The ban on the flat earth is because they have been exposed as the Wizard of Oz. phonies, liars and not very good ones. It is sad for those who did not investigate this critical topic when available to do so. Don’t worry there wont be much time left on planet (plane) earth until Jesus returns. Matthew 24: 21-22 “FOR THEN SHALL BE A GREAT TRIBULATION, SUCH AS WAS NOT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THHE WORLD TO THIS TIME, NO, NOR EVER SHALL BE. ANND EXCEPT THOSE DAYS SHOULD BE SHORTENED, THERE SHOULD NO FLESH BE SAVED: BUT FOR THE ELECT’S SAKE THOSE DAYS SHALL BE SHORTENED.” No secret rapture, which is a lie spun from the Vatican’s Jesuits to lull Christians into a false sense of security. 1 Corinthians 15: 47-58; 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18; Daniel 12:1; 2 Peter 3: 9-10; Revelation 6:14-17; many more please check out Pastor Kenneth Cox on youtube: The Revelation of Jesus Christ part 1-29 very well worth the investment of time to hear these truths presented from God’s Word and not man’s opinions. Topics discussed such as : WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST, WHO IS THE BEAST OF REVELATION 13? WHAT IS THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST OF REVELATION 13? WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND THE IMAGE? UNITED STATES IN BIBLE PROPHECY; THE LAST 3 ANGELS’S MESSAGES OF REVELATION 14. THANK YOU BIF FOR EXPOSING THE TRUTH IN ALL ITS FORMS.
