No they did not. The restricted mode filter is based mostly on “inappropriate” flags that are placed by USERS. Meaning a lot of this was caused by conservatives/homophobes abusing the flagging system and reporting every LGBT video they find.

While the initial outrage was valid, and important to have so YouTube would A) be aware of the problem, and B) be motivated to fix it, now that they are publicly announcing that they were falsely filtered and are working to fix things, there’s no reason to be dicks about it.

That last comment 👏👏👏👏
