The move, which will result in the removal of all videos promoting Nazism and other discriminatory ideologies, is expected to result in the removal of thousands of channels across YouTube.
In addition to those categories, YouTube is adding caste, which has significant implications in India, and “Well-documented violent events,” ; such as the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting and 9/11. Users are no longer allowed to post videos saying those events did not happen, YouTube said.
Finally, YouTube said it would restrict channels from monetizing their videos if they are found to “Repeatedly brush up against our hate speech policies.” Those channels will not be able to run ads or use Super Chat, which lets channel subscribers pay creators directly for extra chat features.
Wanting to prevent representation under the guise of “keeping politics out” is dumb as shit cause being anti representation is always going to be an infinitely more political stance than a piece of media acknowlaging that gay people actually exist.
