YouTube is also giving legacy media outlets and public health organizations billions of impressions.
YouTube is also giving legacy media outlets and public health organizations billions of impressions.
In her first interview since the coronavirus lockdown started in the US, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki discussed how the platform has responded to the pandemic by removing thousands of videos and sending over 10 billion views to legacy media outlets.
Wojcicki made the comments during an appearance on CNN reporter Brian Stelterâs Reliable Sources podcast where she mostly focused on the platformâs efforts to give people the âright informationâ and stamp out âmisinformation.â
âWe also talk about removing information that is problematic,â Wojcicki said. âWeâve had to update our policy numerous times associated with COVID-19.â
Wojcicki then went on to give examples of content that would be a violation of YouTubeâs policies, including anything âthat is medically unsubstantiated, so people saying like, âtake vitamin C, take turmeric, like those are/or will cure you.â Those are the examples of things that would be a violation of our policy.â
When it comes to determining what YouTube classes as âmisinformation,â Wojcicki said that âanything that would go against World Health Organization [WHO] recommendations would be a violation of our policyâ â the same WHO that amplified Chinaâs propaganda about there being âno evidence of human-to-human transmissionâ of the coronavirus and criticized Taiwan after a Chinese propaganda campaign on Twitter.
You know when they have to control free speech get a handle on the narrative you know they are rats and tyrannical half asses takes two of those losers to make a asshole!
