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.
