Just in the month of January, the platform is claiming that it has confiscated about five hundred thousand videos having distorted info. The gigantic platform has still not unveiled the data regarding the number of misleading videos uploaded on its colossal library. Further, it has not updated the statistics regarding the removal of dangerous content from the last 5 months, disguising the depiction of how corona-connected exclusions heap up to other types. The Leading Product Officer of the platform has said in a blog post that YouTube confiscates nearly ten million videos every quarter.
YouTube is just like other social platforms that give users a place to upload their content, but many users post dangerous material on these platforms in the name of freedom of expression. YouTube is tackling this situation with an efficient policy so that people do not use their liberty of expression in the wrong way. During the last few years, YouTube tried to tackle multiple types of dangerous content on its platform such as conspiracy philosophies, hate speech, child exploitation and misuse, racial content, and other content of mass assassination. Still, many people criticize that the platform is not putting enough exertion regarding its content moderation, but the reality is that it takes time to cope with these types of misleading videos on a massive platform where people post millions of videos each day.
Neal Mohan, The Product Officer has said that the confiscation of this fake information from the platform regarding the corona vaccine is part of content moderation struggles. He further called videos’ removal a “blunt tool” and that is hard to implement when one individual’s false information is the sturdy belief of another individual.
