Summary | Google has been using artificial intelligence to weed out offensive videos from YouTube and take them down. It is quite good at detecting nudity, graphic violence, and copyright violations. However, other less straightforward offensive material remains on the platform such as cultish sermons by extremist muslims. These are however not being monetized by displaying advertising next to them.

Summary | In this election cycle, no one can ignore YouTube. This year it is clear that if one candidate does not advertise their campaign on YouTube they are going to lose. Data collected by Google shows that younger generations are far more likely to watch content on YouTube than on TV. Even 50% of babyboomers watch videos on YouTube. Also, YouTube has the advantage that users can share content with others on various platforms whereas on TV they can only watch the content.
