YouTube has announced that it’s taking more steps to prevent hateful content and misinformation from spreading on the platform, starting by prohibiting inherently supremacist videos.
For some time now, social platforms have been trying to prevent and combat hateful content on the internet, and YouTube has taken its own series of steps towards that goal. Today, the company announced even more of those, expanding on some of its previous policy changes.
For starters, YouTube will now outright forbid videos that claim that a specific group of people is inherently superior to others based on race, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and so on. Likewise, videos that deny well-documented violent events, such as the Holocaust or the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting will also be banned.
