youtube-to-cut-down-on-conspiracy-theories-misinformation-in-recommendations, Outlandish claims such as miracle cures, flat earth theories and the like will be removed. (poor PMac)

It started years ago when they would remove hashems films as quick as they were uploaded

As much as I hate retarded CT videos I think I dislike censorship more. They will have to be careful and really transparent on which videos are removed.

My understanding is that they aren't actually removing them at all. They are only not suggesting them, which I think is the bit where Youtube gives a list of videos you may find interesting.

So, there is no censorship, just that they aren't advertising them.


edit: This should explain it a bit better:

"The change concerns YouTube's recommendations feature, which automatically creates a playlist of videos for users to watch next. The recommendations are the result of complex and opaque algorithms designed to capture a user's interest, but they have become a locus of criticism when YouTube directs people to potentially harmful and false content that they would not have otherwise sought out"

YouTube deleting conspiracy theory videos is not real,
its just another conspiracy theory.
