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 Japan, video platforms such as YouTube and Niconico are very popular. The world’s fourth-largest internet population is in Japan, and Japanese users spend more time on video platforms than on social media platforms. The reason why Japanese people spend more time on video platforms is because they have been able to mould those video platforms to their own cultural norms (unlike social networks such as Facebook). Music streaming services have yet to reach Japan; physical CDs are still popular over there.

Topic Tags | gender, misunderstanding, Twitter, YouTube
Summary | Much of the LGBT content on YouTube is hidden when using the restricted mode. This is a setting that few users use, some parents, schools, libraries, et cetera. This mode is supposed to block out violent, dangerous, or sexual content showing nudity. Many creators came forth on Twitter and criticized YouTube for blocking their videos in the restricted mode despite there being no nudity or violence. Just topics around sexuality and health. YouTube has been adamant about clarifying that this is a bug in the algorithm and that they are fixing it but have not given a comprehensive list of their guidelines that make content "sensitive" so that it would disappear in the restricted mode.
