YouTube staff too swamped to filter out all terror-related
content
Summary:
This article is about how the volume of content regularly
uploaded to YouTube makes it tough for the video-sharing website to
catch all terror-related content, and how it is different for nudity for
certain videos depending on its content.
Key point:
·
About 300 hours of video material is being
uploaded to YouTube every minute, said Google policy manager Verity
Harding, who stated: “To pre-screen those videos before they are uploaded would
be like screening a phone call before it’s made.”
·
“YouTube has clear policies that prohibit
content like gratuitous violence, hate speech and incitement to commit violent
acts, and we remove videos violating these policies when flagged by our users.”
In my opinion, this article highlights censorship and how
important it is in terms of protecting sensitive audiences from harmful
content, like porn and the beheadings.
