'I can’t trust YouTube any more': creators speak out in Google advertising row

Summary | YouTube has faced much crticism because they have failed to withhold advertising from grossly offensive content on their platform, for instance terrorist or anti-semite videos. Advertisers have pulled back their payments in response. YouTube creators are also unhappy because a lot of their non-offensive videos are deemed not advertiser-friendly by the algorithm so they cannot monetize from those videos. This has led to a lot of censorship of eating disorder and LGBTQ content. YouTube overall seems to be more advertiser-friendly than creator-friendly.

Summary | One school's guidelines on what appropriate prom gowns entail went viral on Twitter because of the double standard that girls are subjected to such prescriptivism and also because the text accompanying the images was demeaning towards women. An image of a gown seen as appropriate is captioned with "good girl" resounding how one would talk to a dog rather than young women.
